Niko Medved leaves Colorado State, takes Minnesota coaching job
Niko Medved, the successful head coach of Colorado State's men's basketball team, is set to become the next head coach for the University of Minnesota, following a strong season where he led the Rams to a 26-10 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Medved, a Minneapolis native and Gophers alumnus, is expected to be introduced at a press conference soon, replacing Ben Johnson, who was released after a lackluster tenure. Over seven seasons at Colorado State, Medved compiled a record of 143-85, guiding the Rams to three NCAA Tournament berths in the last four years and securing the Mountain West Conference title this season. His coaching career includes successful stints at Furman and Drake, showcasing his capabilities as a program-builder. The transition comes amid a buyout clause from his current contract at CSU, which may cost him approximately $2.4 million. Medved's move is seen as a revitalization effort for a struggling Minnesota program, with athletic director Mark Coyle eager for change.
