LAWRENCE — Former KU point guard Sherron Collins will be the new head boys basketball coach at Free State High School in Lawrence, pending board approval.
Collins, a Chicago native, was a guard on the Jayhawks' 2008 National Championship-winning team.
He played two years in the NBA with the Charlotte Bobcats.
Free State beat Hutchinson in a substate final this march before losing in the 6A semis. Collins replaces Sam Stroh, who is getting out of coaching.
