I have heard that Northern Kentucky is set to name a new women’s basketball coach today. I can confirm that the four finalists are:

• John Barnes – Former assistant Michigan and Wisconsin. Former head coach Michigan Tech

• Chancellor Dugan – Former head coach Florida Atlantic

• Brian Neal – Assistant coach Xavier.

• Dawn Plitzuweit – Former assistant Michigan. Former head coach Grand Valley State.

According to a source close to the situation, Plitzuweit is the front-runner here. The press conference is scheduled for 2:00 this afternoon – stay tuned…
