Gamecocks to name Hilltopper's Horn coach this week

Darrin Horn will be formally introduced as South Carolina's next basketball coach later this week, a source has told CBSSports.com.

The South Carolina board of trustees is scheduled to meet Tuesday morning. The source said when the board approves a potential contract for Horn-- which is essentially a formality -- the school will then hold a press conference to unveil its replacement for Dave Odom late Tuesday or Wednesday.

Horn just completed his fifth season at Western Kentucky by leading the Hilltoppers to the Sweet 16.

He was 111-48 in five seasons at his alma mater.
