Three weeks ago, Buzz Peterson turned down an offer from Appalachian State as the new head basketball coach. Well, there's been a change and Peterson is heading to Boone, North Carolina after all.
Wednesday Peterson accepted the offer and will begin second stint as the Mountaineers head hoops coach. Buzz was on the bench for four seasons going 79-39 at ASU between 1996-2000.
He is best known for being Michael Jordan's college roommate at North Carolina. Peterson was fired by Tennessee in 2005 in his only major coaching job.
Peterson later coached at Coastal Carolina before Jordan hired him in 2007 to be director of player personnel with the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Mountaineers went 13-18 last season. Their last NCAA tournament appearance came under Peterson in 2000.
