Ford watch...OVER
Men's basketball
Eli Rosenswaike
Weeks of speculation involving where Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford will coach next season are over.
He isn't going anywhere.
UMass athletic director John McCutcheon made the announcement Thursday night at 7 p.m., saying that Ford will be back in Amherst next season as coach.
"I want to give every one of you an opportunity to have a nice, deep cleansing breath. Relax a little bit, with the knowledge that Travis Ford, our head men's basketball coach, is going to be with us for many years to come," McCutcheon said at the team's end-of-the-season banquet.
The announcement came just one day after Ford interviewed for the Providence coaching position and two days after saying he did not want to be considered for the job at Lousiana State.
"It's been a long two days," Ford said, struggling to find the right words. "It was a tough decision. Any time you have options to look at great places [it's tough], but it was easy to make the decision with all the reasons that I wanted to be here."

Massachusetts men's basketball coach Travis Ford interviewed for the head job at Providence yesterday.
As of now (11:45 a.m. on Thursday) there has been no press conference scheduled at Providence.
Be sure to continuously check this blog for updates.
Ironically, the UMass basketball team is scheduled to have its end-of-the-year banquet tonight.
It could be quite interesting to see Ford -- if it happens -- there AFTER he accepted the job at Providence. Although if he does take the job, he may not show up at the banquet at all.
So many possibilities.
This story has been developing almost hourly the past few days, so again, be sure to check back here periodically.
