Errol Rogers, a 1995 UL graduate and assistant coach at Mississippi State the past four seasons, will be officially announced as the Ragin' Cajuns' new women's basketball coach today.
A source close to the Mississippi State athletic department confirmed Tuesday night that Rogers would be taking the UL post and was traveling from Starkville, Miss., to Lafayette either late Tuesday or early today.
The university has called a press conference for 3p.m. today at the Cajundome. UL interim athletic director David Walker would neither confirm nor deny that Rogers had been offered the position.
Rogers interviewed for the position early last week. Among the other candidates interviewed were current Cajun assistant James "Wooly" Hatchell, Teurlings Catholic girls' basketball coach Garry Brodhead and former Central Florida head coach Gail Striegler.
