SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – Pepperdine coach Tom Asbury will miss the Waves’ game at Gonzaga on Thursday night to be with his first grandchild, born prematurely Sunday.
Associate coach Marty Wilson will take over for Asbury.
The school said Wednesday that Asbury is in Phoenix, where his daughter gave birth. The baby was born 16 weeks premature and weighs less than two pounds. The mother and baby are doing well under the circumstances.
Asbury may return to Saturday at Portland.
Wilson served as interim head coach for the final 13 games of the 1995-96 season.
