Kent State makes Senderoff interim coach

KENT, Ohio (AP) - Assistant Rob Senderoff has been named Kent State's interim head coach after Geno Ford left the program after three seasons for Bradley.

Athletic director Joel Nielsen said the school has begun a nation search for Ford, who has left the Kent State program “in tremendous shape and with a very bright future.”

Senderoff could be the leading candidate to take the job permanently. The 37-year-old has been an associate head coach under Ford for three years. Prior to that, Senderoff was an assistant at Indiana, where he was involved in the recruiting scandal that led to Kelvin Sampson's resignation and NCAA penalties for the school.
