Drake to hire Arizona State assistant Phelps to replace Davis

 

Arizona State assistant Mark Phelps has reached an agreement in principle to become the men's basketball coach at Drake, a source confirmed for CBSSports.com early Sunday.

An official announcement is expected Monday.

Phelps is a Virginia native and Old Dominion graduate. This is his first collegiate head coaching job, and his only obvious connection to Drake is that Drake athletic director Sandy Hatfield Clubb was an associate director of athletics at Arizona State when Phelps came with Herb Sendek from North Carolina State to ASU in April 2006.

Phelps replaces Keno Davis.

Davis left last week for the Providence job.

No surprise that Hatfield Clubb would go to her Arizona past for a hire. 

I did see Arizona State play in the NIT and they were definitely up tempo.  I think Drake did good on the hire.  The key is can they keep Josh Young and their new recruits?

If this is true, then Drake and Sandy Hatfield Clubb look to have made a good hire. I was worried they were going to hire a head coach that couldn't hack it somewhere else. He seems to be one of the top assistants in the nation as far as the next head coach.

Way to go Bulldogs!
