Clemson didn't get Butler's Brad Stevens, but found its new basketball coach at another Horizon League school instead.
The school will hold a news conference at 4 p.m. today to announce the hiring of Wright State's Brad Brownell as its new basketball coach, school sports information director Tim Bourret said this morning in a news release.
Brownell, 41, was 84-45 in four seasons at Wright State, and was 83-40 in four previous seasons at UNC Wilmington. In 2007, Brownell coached Wright State to an NCAA tournament appearance, its first league title ever, and a school Division I-record 23 wins.
He replaces Oliver Purnell, who left last week to coach DePaul.

Who?
Respectable hire – perhaps even an upgrade. Definitely better than Wake is about to do.
