Lipscomb is set to hire University of Alabama Huntsville’s Lennie Acuff as their new head basketball coach. This was first reported by Evan Daniels. Acuff will replace Casey Alexander who departed for Belmont earlier this month.

In 22 seasons as the head coach at UAH, Acuff has amassed a 436-214 record, including a 24-8 tally this past season. Acuff has been named the NABC District Coach of the Year four times, and he has been honored as the GSC Coach of the Year a conference-record eight times. He also spent four seasons as the head coach at Berry College (66-64).

A press conference is expected later this afternoon.
