TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M Athletic Director Milton Overton Jr. on Saturday said FAMU is still "a couple of weeks out" from naming a new head basketball coach.Overton said more than 150 people applied for the job, more than he expected.
He said the sheer volume of applicants caused athletic department officials to open the application process more than he anticipated.
He added the search is taking long than he thought it would take, and right now the school is in the process of vetting backgrounds.
"We have a lot of people who want this job," Overton said.
"Even though we had some folks who we were kind of keying on, because we had a really good pool, we just extended the time. It's not optimal, but we have to find the right fit here."
