Lee to interview for second time

College of Charleston head baseball coach [autotag]Monte Lee[/autotag] will meet with Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich on Friday afternoon in Clemson, a source tells The Clemson Insider on Thursday.

The interview is scheduled to take place sometime after lunch, around 2 p.m. or so. This will be the second time he has met with Clemson officials.

Earlier on Thursday TCI learned that Lee meet with [autotag]Clemson [/autotag]officials earlier in the week. We have now confirmed that meeting took place on Tuesday and was held in Charleston.

Lee’s name has been on Radakovich’s short list since he fired Hall of Fame head coach Jack Leggett last Thursday. In that interview, we are told Lee informed Clemson that he was extremely interested in the job.

Lee, 38, just completed his seventh season in Charleston. One of the hot young coaches in the country, he’s found a way to win with less.

The Cougars went 45-15 this season, which ended with a loss in the Tallahassee Regional finals to Florida State. Lee, who was an assistant coach under Ray Tanner at South Carolina for six seasons, has a 276-145 record at C of C. His teams have appeared in four NCAA Tournaments and have won 40-plus games four times.
