Hawaii has hired Saint Mary's assistant Eran Ganot as its next basketball coach, sources told CBSSports.com on Wednesday.
A press conference is expected for Thursday.
Ganot replaces Benjy Taylor, who served as the interim coach following Gib Arnold's dismissal last October.
The New Jersey native has been on the Gaels' staff since 2011 and Saint Mary's has posted an impressive 80-22 record during that span. He was named associate coach in 2014 and served as acting coach for five games last season where he compiled a 3-2 record.
Before his time in Moraga, Ganot was on Hawaii's staff under both Riley Wallace and Bob Nash.
The Rainbow Warriors finished 22-13 this past season and were 8-8 in Big West play.
