Colorado State Rams Basketball: A New Era Begins With New Head Coach
It is an incredibly exciting time to be a Colorado State Rams men's basketball fan. First of all, what a season for the Rams. The Rams won the Mountain West tournament in Las Vegas, upset Memphis in March Madness, and dominated most of their opponents.
There is a new era for Colorado State men’s basketball on the way. This morning, Colorado State's new head coach had his first press conference.
Meet Colorado State's New Coach
Earlier this week, Ali Farokhmanesh was announced as the 21st head coach of Colorado State’s men’s basketball team.
Farokhmanesh is a familiar face amongst Rams fans. Farokhmanesh has been with the team for a long time. Now, he is stepping into the head coach position.
Farokhmanesh has been with the team during their NCAA Tournament appearances the past couple of years. We are excited to see how he will evolve the program. Farokhmanesh already lives in Fort Collins with his wife and four children.
Farokhmanesh Speaks in Fort Collins
There was a press conference at Moby Arena on March 28. This press conference officially introduced coach Farokhmanesh.
Farokhmanesh said that his goal is to create a family atmosphere that reflects CSU. It certainly seems like Farokhmanesh would like to stay in Northern Colorado.
He said that he was committed to the area beyond basketball. His plan is to build on success, and a lot of that success will be building relationships with his players.
Rams fans should be enthusiastic and excited for the future. Coach Farokhmanesh’s vision is fresh yet grounded in the traditions of Colorado State Rams basketball. It is time for the Farokhmanesh era. We are pumped about it.
