Long Beach State Hires New Men's Basketball Coach



At a press conference held Saturday morning, President F. King Alexander and Athletic Director Vic Cegles announced that Dan Monson would be the new head coach of the Long Beach State men's basketball team.

Monson, 45, was the former head coach for Gonzaga University before moving to the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis in 1999. He ended his coaching job in Minneapolis in November 2006. Monson is expected to sign a six year contract with CSULB and receive $250,000 annual salary.

The selection of Monson as the new men's basketball coach came after what some say was the controversial by the University to not extend the contract of former head coach Larry Reynolds
