UNDATED (AP) — A few more coaching vacancies have been filled in men’s basketball.
Steve Prohm is back at Murray State for a second stint as its men’s basketball coach.
Prohm replaces Matt McMahon, his former assistant who left for LSU earlier this week after guiding Murray State to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
UCLA assistant coach Michael Lewis will be taking over Ball State’s program once the Bruins have completed their NCAA Tournament run. Lewis will replace the fired James Whitford, who was 131-148 at the school.
UMass has hired Frank Martin as its new coach. The 56-year-old Martin takes over the Minutemen program from Matt McCall, who was fired this month after going 58-81 over five seasons in Amherst. Martin arrives following his own dismissal from South Carolina last week after 10 seasons.
