AJ Guyton interested in coaching IUPUI Jaguars
Guyton applied for the job
AJ Guyton is one of the candidates to coach IUPUI from next season.
Per Vigilantsports, The IUPUI men’s basketball program has an opening for a new head coach and, as expected, it has drawn plenty of interest. The program is seeking its next leader to help a struggling program become a consistent winner. The Jaguars compiled a 26-70 record over the last three seasons. This past year, they went 6-26, including a 1-13 mark in the Summit League. It’s worth noting, however, that they were decimated by injuries.
In addition to being a Division I school, the job is attractive because in another year, their home will become the Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. A renovation, costing an estimated $63 million, is scheduled to be complete next summer. That’s a game changer, particularly in recruiting, as they’ll play at a respectable facility. They’ll move from a 1,215-seat gym at ‘The Jungle’ to one that seats about 8,200.
The deadline to apply is Thursday, March 20th, according to a coach who has submitted his resume.
