MUNCIE -- Ball State has interviewed veteran head coach Brad Soderberg for its vacant men's basketball coaching position.
Soderberg's father, Don, confirmed for The Star Press that his son interviewed for the job with Cardinals athletic director Tom Collins.
Brad Soderberg and Collins met Thursday at an undisclosed location in Indianapolis to discuss the position. The two men talked via the phone a week earlier in a preliminary interview before meeting face to face.
Phone messages left for Soderberg and Collins were not returned Friday evening.
Ball State is searching for a coach after Ronny Thompson resigned on July 12. The Cardinals were 9-22 in Thompson's lone season on the bench, and he was plagued by two NCAA violations.
Collins is believed to be looking at candidates with previous head coaching experience for this hire. Thompson had no experience as a head coach.
Soderberg most recently was head coach at St. Louis University, guiding the Billikens for five seasons. He was fired on April 17 despite producing a 20-13 record last year. . . . (read more)
