FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas assistant coach TJ Cleveland is a possible finalist for the University of North Alabama's head coaching job, according to a report.
Cleveland, 37, is among seven names cited in HoopDirt.com's report Saturday. Cleveland is a native of Birmingham, Ala., about 100 miles from the North Alabama campus in Florence.
North Alabama announced on March 12 it would not renew the contract of men's basketball coach Bobby Champagne, coach of the Lions since 2004, who had a 245-195 record at the school.
North Alabama will become a full-time Division I member in 2018-19 and join the Atlantic Sun Conference.
