So new coach, Avery Johnson enters the picture. Coleman stays and he really played well in his sophomore campaign. He scored a career-high 24 against Oregon that year, an eventual No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. He also scored 21 against LSU in a big road win. However, he definitely had some poor games mixed in, including when he played against Dayton that year, scoring 3 points on 1-5 shooting with 1 assist and 3 turnovers.

But as a junior Coleman was almost assuredly going to lose minutes to Dazon Ingram, who was limited to 7 games that year due to injury. And then he was also going to have to compete with the coaches kid, Avery Johnson, Jr. who had sat out the previous year as a transfer in from Texas A&M. So he really kind of got forced out.

Coleman decides his best option is to transfer to Samford, the hometown school. Supposedly, they play more of the up tempo, run and gun style that Grant's teams were known for.
