Braun Off To Cal

Ben Braun moved from the success and relative obscurity of Eastern Michigan to officially become men’s basketball coach at prominent, yet troubled, University of California.

Braun inherited the team from Todd Bozeman, who was forced to resign late last month. The program is under NCAA investigation and reeling from the defection of three talented underclassmen.

Braun, 42, had a 185-132 record in 11 seasons at Eastern Michigan.
