According to the Associated Press, St. Bonaventure has found a replacement for the fired Anthony Solomon. The Bonnies have hired Robert Morris head coach Mark Schmidt to fill the job. Athletic director Steve Watson said, “He is a proven successful head coach who impressed us with his attitude, desire and passion.” Schmidt went 82-90 in his six years at Robert Morris, and previously worked as an assistant at Xavier, Penn State, and Loyola (Md.). St. Bonaventure initially offered the job to Albany head coach Will Brown, who turned it down last month. The Bonnies went 8-19 last season—the team’s best record in Solomon’s four years in the program.
