&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Progress is being made in filling the men’s basketball coaching vacancy at Chadron State College, Athletic Director Joel Smith said Monday.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; More than 150 candidates have formally applied for the position, Smith said. The search committee has reviewed the applications and is contacting references.&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; But Smith added that the current travel restrictions make it unclear when the first candidates can be brought on campus and he is hesitant to hire a new coach without that occurring.&nbsp;

“We’re going as far as possible until that issue is settled,” he stated.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The new coach will replace Houston Reed, who resigned in March after accepting an assistant’s position at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.&nbsp; Reed had been the Eagles’ head coach the past four seasons.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
