Kansas Assistant Case Eyed for ASU Job

Now, eyes are on assistant Jeremy Case, who just interviewed for the head coaching job at Arizona State to replace Bobby Hurley after his 11-year run. Randy Bennett from St. Mary seems like the top choice right now for the Sun Devils, but if that doesn't pan out, Case could get another look. Meanwhile, more shifts might happen on Bill sells Kansas staff once the season wraps up. Case, now 41, play for Kansas from 2003 to 2008, contributing off the bench to their 2008 national title. He's climbed the ranks since, returning to Lawrence in 2016 as video coordinator and now serving as associate head coach. Self has praised Case's basketball smarts and predicted he'll lead a program someday. Folks around Kansas once saw him as a possible successor to self, though Vaughn's NBA experience makes him the stronger internal pick.
