According to multiple sources, the leader for the vacant position at NJIT is UMass associate head coach Steve Lanpher. Some sources are reporting that he has already been offered the position. Lanpher has been on the UMass staff for the previous two seasons, and was the associate head coach at Vermont before that. He has previous experience as a head coach at Dean College (MA), Norwich University (VT), and Pratt CC (KS). I’ll keep you updated as I hear more.
