Lee Barfknecht Omaha World-Herald

Keith Coleman, who signed a basketball letter of intent with Nebraska last November, was released from that commitment when Tim Miles replaced Doc Sadler as coach this spring.

Now, Coleman has found a new school.

The 6-foot-9, 245-pounder has signed with North Texas, now coached by former Nebraska and Sadler assistant Tony Benford.

Benford, who was an assistant at Marquette, replaces Johnny Jones, who took the LSU job. North Texas has averaged 21 wins a seasonĀ over the past six years.
