Navy is reportedly going to promote its Associate Head Coach Jon Perry to the permanent head coach role, according to CBS Sports analyst Jon Rothstein. This is notable news for Michigan State because Spartans associate head coach Doug Wojcik was widely considered one of the leading candidates for the Midshipmen head coaching gig. Wojcik played for Navy in the 80's where he was a team captain experienced a ton of success on the court. He was also an assistant coach for the Midshipmen in the 90's. So when the role became open last month, he was a clear cut favorite for the position.
