COACHING CHANGES
"There is a shake up going on within West Virginia's staff, as 3 veteran employees have each recently left the program. Assistant coaches Chester Nichols and Lester Rowe, as well as long-time director of operations Pat Biondo, are no longer at WVU. Mike Carey has served as head coach for the past 18 seasons.
