Utah State has found Danny Sprinkle’s replacement

Utah State has its man.

Youngstown State coach Jerrod Calhoun will replace Danny Sprinkle as head of the Aggie men’s basketball team.

“Jerrod Calhoun embodies all the qualities we are looking for as the next leader of our men’s basketball program,” USU athletics director Diana Sabau said in announcing the hire Saturday. “He is energetic, enthusiastic, a player’s coach and is motivated to keep our current student-athletes in Logan. He is a formidable recruiter, an exceptional motivator, and has a keen understanding of the competitive nature of NIL and will be a great partner in growing the Blue A Collective.”

Calhoun went 118-106 during seven seasons at Youngstown State, winning 46 games over the last two years.

“I am honored that Diana and President (Elizabeth) Cantwell have entrusted me with the privilege of leading the storied Aggie program,” said Calhoun. “I could not be more excited about the opportunity to work alongside them. I look forward to making Aggie Nation proud of our program, both on and off the court, and competing for championships on an annual basis.”

The 42-year-old Calhoun previously served as an assistant at West Virginia (2007-12) and as the head coach of Fairmont State (2012-17).

He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready.
