[grahoben]

At age 25, Matt Grahoben becomes the youngest active NCAA Men's Basketball coach, as he has been hired as head coach of the Eastern Illinois Panthers. Last year, the Panthers struggled to a 10-20 record (6-14 in OVC), and the university believes that bringing in a very young coach can help the team win more games.
