The search for Texas Southern University's next men's basketball coach will be narrowed to three by Friday as the school's board of regents will unveil the candidates to succeed Ronnie Courtney, who was fired in July.
Former TSU basketball standout Kevin Granger -- currently the head boys basketball at Worthing High School -- and Baylor University coordinator of men's basketball operations Paul Mills are two of the names confirmed.
Granger, who will have his second interview with the school on Thursday afternoon, has received considerable support from TSU alumni, including TSU national alumni president Chris Le Blanc. Le Blanc said that an assortment of alumni, boosters and current and former National Basketball Association players have given contingency checks to the school in the event if Granger gets the job.
The board will evaluate the candidates and will make a formal decision as early as Monday.
