Former Mississippi State men's basketball coach Rick Stansbury will take the same position at Western Kentucky, according to multiple media reports. WKU is expected to announce the hiring Monday at a news conference.

Stansbury, 56, led the Mississippi State program from 1998 to 2012. He posted a 293-165 record during that span while making six NCAA Tournament appearances.

Stansbury has been the top assistant at Texas A&M since 2014. He would replace Ray Harper, who resigned March 17 after five seasons at WKU.
