Jason Capel is being introduced as Appalachian State's new basketball coach at a news conference later this afternoon in Boone.
Capel, 30, will be the youngest coach in NCAA Division I (three months, six days younter than Wisconsin-Green Bay's Brian Wardle).
Capel, a former North Carolina player, has been in coaching one season. He was an assistant last season for Buzz Peterson, who resigned last week to take the job at UNC Wilmington.
Capel's brother Jeff is coach at Oklahoma and his father Jeff is an assistant with the Charlotte Bobcats.
Capel takes over a Mountaineers program that was 24-13 last season and played in the Southern Conference championship game. Among the players returning to Appalachian next season are guard Donald Sims, the league's player of the year. -- David Scott

I can't believe they hired The Gopher! Wow
Wow, That's an impressive resume for a D1 Head Coach. That must have been an extensive search process.
I feel sorry for the true App fans who actually follow the hoops program. This is a joke!!!
I saw him playing basketball at the Morrison Y a couple of days ago.
Thats Great News!! Good luck on the new season
When he played at the Y in Morrison, was he still as horrible a player as when he played at UNC? Maybe his coaching will be better than his playing days.
i cant belive they fired buzz peterson he was a good coach and athlete an ik his daughter an ive met the man hes a good guy its an outrage to fire buzz
Hey 5:54, Peterson wasn't fired - he left for a bigger paycheck.
Something we do not know about???
The A. D. needs to be investigated.
Another tarheel failure on and off the court!!!
Wow..great job App State. 1 year of coaching experience....he is a seasoned vet. ASU AD should be fired!
haters
give him a chance ...if it don't work move him on out
Buzz is a total DB for leaving after App pulled him off the scrap heap. Now we hire the shoe bomber?
