Thad Matta is turning down an offer from the University of Georgia to become the Bulldogs' new head basketball coach, according to multiple reports.
The 50-year-old Matta was the head coach at Xavier from 2001 to 2004 and more recently the head coach at Ohio State from 2004 to 2017. He was an assistant coach at Miami University in 1994-95 and 1996-97.
Last week, ESPN's Jeff Goodman reported that Matta had interest in returning to coaching and had met with Ole Miss officials in Oxford.
