According to multiple reports, former Ohio State basketball head coach Thad Matta met with Ole Miss officials Friday in Oxford to discuss the possibility of a return to coaching.
Wrapping up its regular season Saturday, Ole Miss men’s basketball has been led by interim head coach Tony Madlock since the abrupt Feb. 18 resignation of former head coach Andy Kennedy. On Feb. 12, Kennedy originally announced his intentions to resign at the end of the season, but later decided to step down early, citing the distraction his presence had on his players. Athletics director Ross Bjork said in a press conference following Kennedy’s resignation that the coaching search had already began.
