Hinson Says He’s Staying

Barry Hinson says he isn’t going anywhere. Yesterday, through SMS Sports Information Director Mark Stillwell, Hinson indicated that he will remain the Bears head basketball coach. In an article from ESPN’s Any Katz, Hinson is mentioned as a possible candidate for the Baylor job, which was created when Dave Bliss resigned on Friday. Katz wrote “Other coaches have expressed interest in the position through intermediate sources like Samford’s Jimmy Tillette, Sam Houston State’s Bob Marlin, Southwest Missouri State’s Barry Hinson and Texas-Pan American’s Bob Hoffman.” Hinson says he never spoke with Katz and has no idea how the rumor was started.
