For those who can't read due to the paywall, the candidates include some new names-
"The list of those who will interview has grown to about 10, including Virginia assistant Brad Soderberg, University of Portland assistant Ben Johnson and Bradley assistant Jimmie Foster."
Three other candidates have emerged:
St. Edward’s University coach Andre Cook- he is 192-132 in 11 seasons at Division II SEU in Austin, TX.
Oregon State assistant Gregg Gottlieb- older brother of TV and radio basketball analyst Doug Gottlieb. Has been a D1 assistant for 26 years, the last 6 at Oregon State.
Mississippi State assistant Ernie Zeigler- assistant coach at Mississippi State since 2015. Was head coach at Central Michigan from 2006-2012, and went 75-111 in 6 seasons and never had a winning season.
Also from the article-
Among the known candidates, Foster has started to gain momentum.
The Wisconsin native was a UWGB assistant for five seasons under Brian Wardle and followed Wardle to Bradley when he was hired in 2015. He has received high marks for his recruiting ability, which included helping land a pair of former Phoenix stars in Carrington Love and Jordan Fouse.
If UWGB hopes to hire a coach who can connect with the community, Wardle said last month that Foster would be a great choice.
“He is out in the community a lot with me,” Wardle said. “He does a lot with our boosters. He is very, very good with our community and the people here in Peoria. I think he has grown in that area from Green Bay to Peoria at a high level, but I just think all around that he’s a really good coach and a really good person.”
While St. Norbert College coach Gary Grzesk withdrew his name from consideration Monday, Soderberg still will interview with the school despite a sizable salary gap in what he is making at Virginia and what he would make in Green Bay.
UWGB remains on pace to hire a coach by next week.
