Just a handful of hours since our most recent update which we concluded by saying “buckle up, things are starting to get interesting.” Yeah, no kidding…

Based on multiple sources, there are 5 candidates heavily involved in the coaching search, all of which have interviewed for the opening. Here are what we are calling “The Final Five” (alphabetical order):

  • Chris Crutchfield, Oklahoma assistant coach
  • Bob Hoffman, Mercer head coach
  • Jeff Meyer, Michigan assistant coach
  • Brett Reed, Lehigh head coach
  • Scott Sutton, Oral Roberts head coach

I would expect this to wrap up very soon with an announcement as soon as later this week. Stay tuned to LibertyFlamesNation.com as we bring you continued coverage on Liberty’s head basketball coaching search.
