Western Michigan is expected to hire UTRGV’s Kahil Fennell as its next head men’s basketball coach, according to sources.
Fennell is currently with UTRGV, where he has been leading the Vaqueros program. Western Michigan is moving to fill its head coaching position as it prepares for the next phase of its program’s direction.
What it means for Western Michigan
The expected hire would mark a significant change for the Broncos, who compete in the Mid-American Conference. Bringing in a sitting Division I head coach signals a clear step toward establishing continuity and leadership ahead of the upcoming season.
Fennell’s current role
Fennell has been at the helm at UTRGV and would be making the transition from the Vaqueros to Western Michigan if the hire is finalized.
