Kerry Rupp named LaTech's men's basketball coach

Associated Press

RUSTON, La. — Kerry Rupp is the new men's basketball coach at Louisiana Tech, replacing the fired Keith Richard.

Rupp's appointment was announced today during a news conference at the northern Louisiana school. Rupp was an assistant coach at Alabama-Birmingham under Mike Davis, a role he also filled under Davis at Indiana in 2004-2006.

"I know he is the individual we need to lead us forward in men's basketball," Tech president Dan Reneau said.

Richard was fired last week.

Louisiana Tech plays in the Western Athletic Conference, of which Hawai'i is a member.
