The report states that Central Washington University assistant coach GE Coleman is slated to become the next head coach, replacing Jeff Law. Law resigned in March to accept a similar position at Western New Mexico University.
The report states that Coleman has notified officials at CWU that he was given an offer by UH-Hilo and planned to accept that offer.
The 31-year-old Coleman has served two different stints as an assistant with the Wildcats, who finished 15-13 last season with a roster primarily filled with community college transfers. Eight of the 12 players who played for CWU last season were transfers from Tacoma Community College.
