CLEVELAND (AP) Cleveland State has hired former Georgia coach Dennis Felton.
He succeeds Gary Waters, who retired after 11 seasons with the Vikings. Felton has also coached at Western Kentucky and spent the past three seasons as an assistant at Tulsa.
At Georgia, Felton led the Bulldogs to the SEC Tournament title in 2008 and an NCAA Tournament berth. As Western Kentucky’s coach from 1998-03, Felton guided the school to six straight conference championships and three consecutive NCAA appearances.
Waters left following his second straight nine-win season. The mid-major Vikings have been stung by transfers of talented players.
New Cleveland State athletic director Mike Thomas praised Felton’s recruiting ability and believes he will be an ”outstanding leader” for the players and community.
Felton will be introduced at a news conference Monday.
