AMHERST, Mass. (WWLP) ā€“ The search for a new menā€™s basketball coach at UMass Amherst has come to an end.
The university announced Wednesday evening that Chattanoogaā€™s Matt McCall has been hired as the Minutemenā€™s head coach.
It's a great day to be a Minuteman! #GoUMass
ā€” Matt McCall (@CoachMattMcCall) March 30, 2017
The announcement comes less than a week after UMass announced Pat Kelsey as the new coach. Kelsey backed out of the job at the last minute, forcing the university to start their search all over again.
UMass names Matt McCall as the new menā€™s basketball coach
Coach McCall will replace longtime coach Derek Kellogg, who was fired two weeks ago.
McCall was the head coach for Chattanooga for the last two seasons and led the school to the NCAA tournament in his first year. He was also named the Southern Conference Basketball Coach of the Year.
Prior to coaching at Chattanooga, McCall was an assistant coach at the University of Florida.
In a statement sent to 22News, UMass Athletic Director Ryan Bamford said:
ā€œMatt is a rising star in college basketball coaching, who has been a key piece of three successful programs in his career. He has earned a reputation as a relentless worker, a great teammate, and a confident leader.ā€

Pat Kelsey: New UMass coach has change of heart just minutes before press conference
yahoo
What was your favorite memory of the Pat Kelsey UMass era?
A press conference to welcome the young coach as UMassā€™ next basketball leader was minutes away from starting on Thursday when media members and boosters were suddenly ushered out.
ā€œUnforeseen circumstances,ā€ they were told.
[Sign up for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball: Get in the game and join a league today]
A little while later, those circumstances were revealed: Kelsey, hired by UMass earlier this week, was heading back to Winthrop after a change of heart. A source told ESPNā€™s Jeff Goodman that Kelsey did not believe UMass ā€œwas the right place for him.ā€
UMass said Kelsey informed the school of his decision at 3:30 p.m., a half-hour before the press conference was scheduled to start. Kelsey later cited ā€œpersonal reasonsā€ for his abrupt decision.

The news of Kelseyā€™s cold feetĀ hit UMass fans hard, as well as some of its most famous alums:
This guy called me n text me happy birthday and told me he wanted to make me proud as well as the school, now I'm hearing this???? smh

As for all those social media tweets from both UMass and Kelsey as they got to know each other around Amherst this week? Ā Awk. Ward.
(If you donā€™t see anything below here, itā€™s because both sides made like a broken-up couple on Instagram and deleted all evidence of any relationship ever existing.)
Lots of GQ looks for @patkelsey and @Sam_Minuteman todayā€¦ ???????????????????????? pic.twitter.com/96qZLjdTwT

So excited to be a part of the rich tradition of @UMassBasketball. I may fall over when I meet Dr. J. Can't wait to get to Amherst! #GoUMass

Kelsey has coached at Winthrop for five seasons and played at Xavier in the late ā€™90s before serving as an assistant there. Whether or not he returns to the Eagles or draws interest from another open job remains to be seen. (One angry UMass fan altered Kelseyā€™s Wikipedia page to say he was interested in the Georgetown opening or one at his alma mater Xavier that is still filled by Chris Mack for the time being.)
At any rate, Kelsey is far from the first coach to back out ofĀ a new gig. Ā Billy Donovan with the Magic in 2007 comes to mind. Dana Altman spent one day as an Arkansas Razorback in 2013. Bobby Cremins went to South Carolina for a minute before running back to Georgia Tech in 1993.

In just a few short days Iā€™ll officially walk at the @umass Graduate Commencement Ceremony to complete my MBA journey. I finished my coursework in Dec ā€˜17, degree was conferred at the university on Feb 1, 2018 and now.. May 11th ties this all in a big beautiful celebration bow šŸŽ€. Iā€™m a goal setter and so once I finished classes I had 3 goals in mind to hit before May 11: pay off my current car loan, pay off my undergraduate student loans (private school tuition šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø) and drop some lbs to get back into shape. As of today, both loans are PAID IN FULL and Iā€™m down 11.5lbs with muscle tone. Along the way, Iā€™ve learned so much about myself, my character and what drives me. I needed a lot of support and couldnā€™t achieve anything without my family, co-workers, friends and especially Callie + @thev19 who continuously bear the brunt of my daily chaos. Thank you for always supporting me ļæ½ļæ½!! #goumass #graduation #mba #goals (at UMass Amherst)

Here we are, graduating, and I'm genuinely going to miss this place. And that's because of you. Not just that I will miss you (which I will more than anything), but because you are soley responsible for my college experience. Everything that happened to me freshman year was a recipe for disaster, and especially, a recipe for fucking hating your school. And you turned that completely around. You made this my favorite place to be, made me more friends, and made me better for myself. I would be such a miserable and washed up person by now if the random roommate generator had not walked you into my life. I'm gonna quote that card I gave you freshman year cause I'm a cheeseball: you might not be my oldest friend, but you're my forever friend. I love you šŸ’œšŸ˜­šŸ˜½šŸŽ“ #youdayoudabest #graduation #goumass (at UMass Amherst)

I was going to my lab yesterday carrying several heavy boxes full of stuff for the #BulkleyChromeCnR project and had not one but two undergrad students stop to ask if I needed help. Amazing to know that #kindness is still a part of big #university culture! ~~~ @umass #goumass
