East Lansing — As Michigan State prepares for the NCAA Tournament, it will lose a critical voice in the coaching room.

However, none of it is bad as the Spartans get set to take on Miami (Fla.) on Friday night in the first round of the Midwest Region. That’s because consultant Brian Gregory has landed another job as a head coach.

The former Georgia Tech and Dayton coach was named the new coach at South Florida on Tuesday, and he’ll likely be headed there by Wednesday after helping out all season at Michigan State, where he was once an assistant under Tom Izzo.
