CBS47 has confirmed that former Fresno State womens basketball coach, Adrian Wiggins, is returning to the Valley.

Wiggins has verbally agreed to be the boys basketball coach at Clovis East High School.

While at Fresno State, Wiggins led the Lady Dogs to 5 consecutive NCAA Tournaments and 4 WAC Championships.

Coach Wiggins left Fresno State at the end of last season to take the head coaching job at the University of Mississippi but was fired before the opening of the season after it was learned two of his assistant coaches violated NCAA rules.

CBS47's Sports Director, George Takata, says Wiggins will be in Clovis next month to sign his contract and that Clovis Unified School District told him they have finalized their search for a new boys head basketball coach.

Takata also says the Clovis East is getting a very good coach and the boys will learn a lot from the former division A coach.

Clovis East is getting a class act in Adrian Wiggins. Glad he's back in the valley. They will learn a lot about real character.

I'm glad to read that Wiggins has landed a decent job, but I'm still "miffed" that he was fired at Mississippi because his underlinings violated NCAA rules. I do wonder though about the contract "buyout" he received there. Since he was paid through the end of the school year (June, 2013) will he have to pay the Jan-June amount back now that he has another paid gig? If not, why not? It doesn't seem right that anyone should be paid for not working while receiving pay from another entity.
