North Idaho College has narrowed its search for a men’s basketball coach to at least three finalists from a pool of nearly 40 applicants, The Spokesman-Review learned on Tuesday night.
The three are former Idaho assistant coach Hugh Watson, NIC assistant coach Brian Hancock and Mark Adams, head coach at Division I Central Connecticut State. The three are expected to be interviewed next week in Coeur d’Alene, beginning with Watson on Monday.
