DENVER (AP) -Chauncey Billups says his alma mater should seriously consider promoting Steve McClain to head coach of the University of Colorado to continue the Buffaloes’ upswing under Jeff Bzdelik.
The job came open this week when Bzdelik left to coach at Wake Forest.
The former Buffs point guard and current star of the Denver Nuggets said hiring a coach from outside the program could result in several players such as Big 12 freshman of the year Alec Burks leaving the program.
McClain was brought in by Bzdelik in 2007 after spending nearly a decade as head coach at Wyoming. Athletic director Mike Bohn said he plans to interview McClain, among others.
