SEATTLE — Seattle University men’s basketball coach Joe Callero is leaving the school, after the program’s return to Division I competition, to take over the reins at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in California.
Seattle University athletics spokesman Jason Behenna told the Associated Press that Callero gave notice Thursday and was to be introduced at a Friday news conference in San Luis Obispo.
Last season, Callero coached the Redhawks to a 13-8 record in their return to Division I ball. The wins included victories against Louisiana Tech, Eastern Washington and Loyola Marymount. Callero had a record of 117-105 in eight years, with five winning seasons.
The Mustangs parted company with coach Kevin Bromley last month after finishing at the bottom of the Big West Conference at 7-21.
