Report: Kansas State Hires Baylor Associate Head Coach Jerome Tang as Next Coach

Kansas State has found its next basketball coach.

The Wildcats are finalizing a deal with Baylor assistant Jerome Tang, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

After Bruce Weber resigned as Kansas State coach following the team’s exit from the Big 12 tournament, the school began its search for its first coach in a decade.

The Wildcats reportedly have chosen the 55-year-old Tang, who has spent the last 19 seasons as Scott Drew’s assistant at Baylor, including the last five as the associate head coach, where he has helped author one of the greatest rebuilding jobs in the history of the sport.
