HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Tom Herrion has been hired as Marshall’s new basketball coach.

The former Pittsburgh associate head coach was introduced at a news conference Saturday.

Herrion replaces Donnie Jones, who left last month to become Central Florida’s coach.

The 42-year-old Herrion spent three seasons on Jamie Dixon’s staff at Pittsburgh. Before that, Herrion went 80-38 in four seasons as head coach at the College of Charleston. He also spent eight years on Pete Gillen’s staffs at Providence and Virginia.

Herrion wasn’t Marshall’s first choice. Appalachian State’s Buzz Peterson said he was offered the Marshall job but the two sides couldn’t agree on a contract.
