PROVIDENCE — Is Ed Cooley a Providence Man?
Officials at Providence College and Friar fans are about to find out just how wedded Cooley is to the hometown job that he’s elevated to unprecedented levels over the last eight seasons. Cooley has had contact with representatives of the University of Michigan regarding its vacant basketball coaching job and one source close to the situation termed the state of affairs as “fluid.”
Citing an unidentified source, the Detroit Free Press reported on Monday that Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel was scheduled to speak with Cooley about the job on Monday.
