OSU men’s basketball assistant coach David Grace has announced that he is pursuing the head coach position at Northern Arizona University.
The NAU job is not officially open, according to Grace, but the school has not had a coach since Mike Adras resigned in December.
“They haven’t actually opened it up to formal applications because they’re trying to figure out how they’re going to go about doing it,” Grace said. “But the administration has all my information.”
Grace interviewed for the head coach job at Monmouth (N.J.) in the spring.
He is in his fourth year with the Beavers and has coached at University of San Francisco, Sacramento State and at the high school and AAU level.
He said OSU coach Craig Robinson encourages his assistants to go for head coach openings.

From your earlier post: “The not-so-good: OSU is 279th in scoring defense at 72.1 ppg and 326th (out of 338 teams) in 3-point defense.”
I appreciate Mr. Grace’s help in bringing back OSU basketball, but this team needs very solid defensive fundamentals.
Maybe this is an opportunity as well.
If this team plays D like Stanford, they will whip the world.
Beat.
