NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Former Whites Creek and Belmont basketball standout Brian “Penny” Collins, now the coach at Columbia State, is among six finalists for the Tennessee State men’s coaching vacancy, according to a source.
Collins interviewed on Monday for the position, which came open March 11 when Travis Williams was fired after leading the Tigers to a 5-25 record in his only season.
The other finalists are North Carolina State assistant Rob Moxley, Illinois State associate head coach Dana Ford, Georgia assistant Stacey Palmore, West Virginia associate head coach Larry Harrison and former District of Columbia coach Julius Smith.
“I’m just excited and glad to even be considered for the head coaching position at Tennessee State,” Collins said. “I thought the interview went well and now it’s in the (search) committee and (athletics director) Teresa Phillips’ hands.”
