The 29th men's basketball coach in the history of the University of Cincinnati is the first UC grad to have the position since Tony Yates and Tay Baker before him. According to reports from CBS Sports, taking over the Cincinnati Bearcats is 44-year-old Jerrod Calhoun, who just coached Utah State to a 29-7 record, losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to top-seeded Arizona. Calhoun is a 2004 UC graduate. Now, 22 years later, the native of East Liverpool, Ohio, will lead his alma mater in the same building where he served as a student assistant under Bob Huggins for the 2003-04 Conference USA league co-champions and C-USA tournament champions. The 2003-04 Bearcats went 25-7 and were a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. 📷: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images For more coverage of UC's new coach go to the link in our bio. #cincinnati #bearcats #cincinnatibearcats #universityofcincinnati #collegebasketball
