I can confirm that Columbia University Associate Head Coach Jean Bain will be named as the next head coach at Brandeis University (MA). Bain, a native of nearby Medford, MA, had been an on the Columbia staff for the past two seasons. He also spent four seasons as the Associate Head Coach at Dartmouth, and six seasons prior to that as an assistant at New Hampshire. A former standout at Northeastern University, Bain was selected as the 1999 America East Rookie of the Year.

An official announcement is expected within the next few days.
