After a month-long search, it appears South Carolina State is close to naming a new women's basketball coach. S.C. State sports information director Bill Hamilton said Thursday an announcement could come "any day now" in regards to the hiring of a replacement for Tonya Mackey, who went 43-72 in four seasons before resigning.
