LOGAN, Utah — Days after losing men's head basketball coach Danny Sprinkle to Washington, Utah State has hired his replacement."Jerrod Calhoun embodies all the qualities we are looking for as the next leader of our men's basketball program," USU athletics director Diana Sabau said in Saturday's announcement."He is energetic, enthusiastic, a player's coach and is motivated to keep our current student-athletes in Logan.
In seven seasons with the Penguins basketball program, Calhoun led Youngstown State to a 118-106 record and most recently, back-to-back 20-win seasons. Calhoun's winning percentage of 52.7 percent is an all-time school record. From 2013-2017, he was the head coach at Fairmont State in West Virginia, where he led the men's team to a 124-38 record and four appearances in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
For the second straight off-season, the Aggies have been forced to search for a new head coach. Sprinkle left Logan for his home state of Washington after leading Utah State to a Mountain West Conference regular season title in his lone season with the Aggies.
