First he was rumored to take the LSU job, but now it’s official: Travis Ford will be coaching in the Big XII next year at Oklahoma State. The press conference will be going down around 2 p.m. today.
Funny, when you learn that last August Ford signed that coveted multiyear extension to coach UMass. Such is the way of the coaching world in college basketball.
Ford had been the coach at UMass for three years (and coached at Eastern Kentucky prior to that). He played college ball at Missouri and Kentucky, in case you were curious.
This isn’t exactly thrilling news (and we’re all waiting for the inevitable news on Kevin Love), but I’m still workin’ for ya in the offseason.
