Report: Taylor in the mix for Ball State job
An Indiana paper is reporting Lehigh coach Billy Taylor is one of five guys on the short list to become Ball State's new head coach.

According to The Star Press in Muncie, Taylor met last night in Indianapolis with Ball State athletic director Tom Collins to talk about the job. Taylor and Collins are both natives of Aurora, Ill.

The paper said Collins has denied reports from the WWLIS that the job has already been offered. Ball State's job opened in July, when Ronny Thompson (son of the former and brother of current Georgetown coach) resigned, apparently in reaction to reports of NCAA violations for off season workouts. Since then, the NCAA has asked the school to investigate other possible rules violations.

The Star Press reports others who have interviewed for the job include Dan Hipsher, an assistant at South Florida and Brad Soderberg, former head coach at St. Louis. Bobby Knight assistant Stew Robinson is also reportedly on Ball State's short list.
