OLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) _ A Western Kentucky University spokesman
says basketball coach Darrin Horn plans to leave to coach at South
Carolina. University spokesman Bob Edwards says Horn told the school's president Monday he had accepted an offer from the Gamecocks to replace Dave Odom, who retired at the end of the season.

The 35-year-old Horn took Western Kentucky to the NCAA
tournament regional semifinals this season. He is 111-48 in five
seasons at his alma mater.

The University of South Carolina has scheduled a meeting with
trustees to approve a new athletic contract Tuesday morning. A news
conference to announce a new coach for the Gamecocks has been
scheduled for later in the afternoon.
