U-N-I basketball coach expected to take job at I-S-U
by Darwin Danielson
Iowa State University is expected to announce tonight that the school is hiring
an in-state replacement for fired mens' basketball coach Wayne Morgan.
Cyclone athletic director Jamie Pollard is expected to name University of
Northern Iowa coach Greg McDermott as the new I-S-U coach. McDermott has
taken U-N-I to unprecedented success, including the schools first ever top 25
ranking this season, and three straight appearances in the NCAA tournament.
Morgan was fired Friday after his team went on a late season skid and failed to
make either the NCAA or NIT postseason tournament.
