Great get for the Mocs; probably a step down for Foster (did he feel desperate because of the timing)?

It may be a step down, but I see from the article he is 65, so maybe this will suit him fine.

On a separate note, what an impressive record when listed year by year. Yeah, I know, no Geno and a rep for not winning the big one (or the NCAA one, more accurately), but c'mon.

I think he will certainly elevate that program (Chattanooga). OSU apparently wanted someone who could bring them to the next level, even tho Foster had a very high level most years. I wonder if the next HC will ever get OSU a NC...

He's no Tyler!

Husky68 - U r 2 funny!!!

I wonder if Tyler is going to apply for every blooming HC opening till he scores one? What is he 22? Getting a bit stale!! What does he have 3/4 of a year asst coach experience?

Foster hire surprised me, I thought he was done in the biz

When your mother was a head coach at 22 it kind gets under your skin.

Article "In 1992, he became the first and only male to be elected president of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association" - first but not only since Geno has gone through the chairs and served as President of the WBCA

Also Doug Bruno of DePaul. But first doesn't surprise me.
