West Virginia to wait on coach status before board meeting
WVU President Elvis J. Stahr Jr. said no decision will be made on Art Lewis’s future until the Board of Governors meets in Charleston on Jan. 14. Lewis, WVU’s coach for 10 seasons with a 58-38-2 mark, faces uncertain tenure after the Athletic Council recommended not rehiring him for 1960 following a public leak of the capture. News of the recommendation surfaced last weekend after the Dec. 12 council vote.
