Tony Barbee will take over as Auburn’s new men’s basketball coach, a source close to the situation confirmed.

Barbee, a former assistant to Kentucky coach John Calipari, recently concluded his fourth season as head coach at Texas-El Paso. He led the Miners to a 26-7 record and the NCAA Tournament this year.

An official release is expected shortly.

Former Auburn star Chuck Person also interviewed for the program’s vacant coaching position Wednesday, a source close to the situation confirmed.
