USU's Verlin moving up
Confirmed:

Utah State University associate head coach Don Verlin has been named University of Idaho’s head basketball.

Verlin, 42, completed his 15th season with head coach Stew Morrill, the last 10 at Utah State. Verlin takes over for George Pfeifer, who was fired Tuesday after two seasons. The Vandals were 12-48 under Pfeifer, including 8-21 this season. Idaho finished seventh in the Western Athletic Conference.

Idaho athletic director Rob Spear confirmed that Verlin will be introduced formally today. "Don is a winner. He has been involved with winning programs his entire career. He has been mentored by one of the most respected coaches in the game - Stew Morrill."
