According to a story in The Daily Bruin UCLA assistant basketball coach Kerry Keating has been listed as a finalist for the head coaching positions at both Long Beach State and Santa Clara. Keating has proven to be one of the top recruiters in the nation during his four years with the Bruins, and this would be his first head coaching position.
Long Beach State finished the 2006-07 season with a 24-8 record and earned the automatic NCAA Tournament bid out of the Big West Conference. Their season came to an end as a 12-seed in the tournament, falling to 5th seeded Tennessee 121-86 in the first round. The 49ers chose not to extend the contract of former head coach Larry Reynolds due in part to recruiting violations that were uncovered towards the end of the season.
Santa Clara narrowly missed an NCAA Tournament birth this season. After posting a 21-10 record, the Broncos fell to Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference championship game.
According to reports from Dayton's official athletic website, junior forward Norman Plummer has been granted his release by the Flyers to transfer to another school.
"After meeting with Norman, we all agreed that it would be best for him to complete his college career at another school," head coach Brian Gregory said in the article.
Plummer was a starter his first two seasons with Dayton, but saw his minutes drop this past season. After averaging 9.1 and 10.0 points per game in each of his first two years, Plummer averaged a career low 8.2 points per game this past season. Plummer has not yet stated where he intends to transfer to.
