The South Florida Bulls will hire Brian Gregory as the team’s next head basketball coach, sources told FanRag Sports.

Gregory started his coaching career as an assistant with the Michigan State Spartans. During the five seasons he was an assistant with Michigan State, the Spartans went to the Final Four three times and won the NCAA Tournament.

In 2003, Gregory got his first head coaching gig. It was as the head coach of the Dayton Flyers. As Flyers head coach, he led the team to the 2004 and the 2009 NCAA Tournament. During the 2009-10 college basketball season, he led Dayton to become the postseason NIT champions after beating North Carolina.

He would then become the head coach of Georgia Tech — basketball program that was on probation when he first got there.

His last season with Georgia Tech was actually his best with the program. After winning 21 games during the 2015-16 season he would not return. But it is worth noting he brought Ben Lammers, Quinton Stephens and Josh Okogie to the program, all who excelled this season for Josh Pastner.

Gregory will bring 13 years of head coaching experience with him to South Florida. The Bulls went 7-23 during the 2016-17 season.
