The Wilkes-Barre Times Leader reported in Wednesday’s editions that King’s women’s coach Bryan Whitten is a finalist for an assistant coach position at Division I Virginia Commonwealth.
Whitten is 220-103 in his career at King’s. There are two positions open and a hiring for one of them could be announced as early as Thursday. Unnamed sources told the newspaper Whitten would be hired.

Let me be the first to heap praise on the work that Whit has done with the King’s women’s basketball program. This is a program that 10 years ago was with the rest of the MAC Freedom that isn’t named Scranton.
Since then, under Whit, King’s has won 2 conference titles and won a bunch of NCAA games (actual # eludes me right now) including being one shot away from the Final Four in 2003.
If he does decide to leave, I wish him the best at VCU. His presence will be missed in the Freedom.
