According to a source, Hobart College has scheduled an 11:00am press conference for today to announce their new head basketball coach. My guy on the ground there tells me that the choice will be former Rochester head coach Mike Neer. Neer compiled a 563-326 record during his 34 seasons at UR.

He will replace Izzy Metz who has accepted a position on Steve Donahue’s staff at Boston College.

I will pass along the official announcement once it is released.

**UPDATE – NEER THE CHOICE AT HOBART**

To update what we reported early this morning, Mike Neer has in fact been named as the head coach at Hobart. Here’s the link to the official press release:
