The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have hired Colorado Buffaloes head coach Jeff Bzdelik for the same position with their school.
Wake Forest unexpectedly fired head coach Dino Gaudio after just a few years in the position.
Gaudio had reluctantly taken over as head coach after the sudden death of close friend Skip Prosser.
Bzdelik has made a number of coaching stops in his career, some in college and others in the NBA.
He helped to turn around Air Force and make them a potential NCAA tournament team before leaving for Colorado.

In a stunning announcement, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons have fired head coach Dino Gaudio.
Gaudio helped lead the team to two NCAA tournament appearances in his three years as head coach.
He was previously an assistant but took over under difficult circumstances following the sudden death of Skip Prosser.
The school said the team’s struggles late in the season and in the postseason was the basis for the firing.
Wake Forest has stumbled down the stretch in recent years after looking like a strong team early in the season.

Wake Forest Demon Deacons star Al Farouq Aminu has declared for the NBA Draft.
The sophomore has already announced he will hire an agent, which eliminates any chance of returning to school.
He is widely regarded as a first round pick, giving him the blessing of head coach Dino Gaudio.
There are questions about his outside jump shot and ability to handle the basketball, but he hopes to answer those in the coming months.
Wake Forest has been hit particularly hard over the past few years by underclassmen leaving early for the NBA.
