Barbee leaves UTEP for Auburn

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

03/24/2010 - Auburn, AL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Auburn named Tony Barbee as its next head men's basketball coach on Wednesday.

Barbee is fresh off a trip to the NCAA Tournament with UTEP, which fell to Butler as a No. 12 seed in the first round of the tourney following its Conference USA regular-season title.

The 38-year-old Barbee spent the last four years with the Miners and compiled an 82-52 record with the program, including a 26-7 mark this past season.

"I'm very excited about the opportunity to join the Auburn family and proud to be the next head coach at Auburn," Barbee said. "We have challenges in front of us, but we also have great opportunities with everything Auburn has to offer -- a great university, outstanding community, tremendous fan support, and a terrific new arena and practice facility. The time is now to take Auburn basketball to new heights."

Prior to his stint at UTEP, Barbee was an assistant coach at the University of Memphis, where he studied under head coach John Calipari.

He will replace Jeff Lebo, who was fired from the position after a 15-17 campaign this past season, his sixth with the Tigers.

"The bottom line is Tony Barbee is a winner," Auburn athletics director Jay Jacobs said. "We could not be happier to have him as the new face of Auburn Basketball as we prepare to open a new era in a new arena next season."
