DSU Hornet hoop coach search heating up

DOVER, Delaware -- At long last some progress is being made in the search for a new basketball coach at Delaware State University.

More than five candidates interviewed for the men’s basketball job last week in Philadelphia. A hire could be announced in the next two weeks.

The flurry of activity in the search coincides with the arrival of new athletic director Scott Gines, who was hired in June but did not start on the job until early July.

It has been 141 days since Keith Walker was fired on Feb. 22. Keith Johnson was named the interim that day and still holds that title.

Johnson is one of the final candidates. He was the associate head coach under Walker and finished the season 1-3 in the final four games for the Hornets.

Delaware State is one of only two Division I teams who still have a head coach opening. The other is Chicago State.
