University of Kentucky assistant Tony Barbee is one of several coaches under consideration for Georgia State’s head coaching job, ESPN reported Tuesday.
Also in the mix, according to ESPN’s sources, are Boston Celtics assistant Micah Shrewsberry, North Carolina Central head coach LeVelle Moton and Green Bay head coach Linc Darner.
Georgia State is in the hunt for a new head coach after Ron Hunter left for Tulane. Hunter was 171-95 in eight seasons with the Panthers as they made three NCAA Tournament appearances, including the past two seasons. Georgia State, located in Atlanta, earned the Sun Belt Conference’s automatic NCAA bid in three of the past five seasons.
