Reneau, along with Tech Athletic Director Jim Oakes and Senior Women's Administrator Mary Kay Hungate, led the search for the next Techster coach over the past two weeks.
According to Reneau, the search drew incredible national interest before being whittled down to two finalists, Long and Western Carolina head coach Kellie Jolly Harper.
Following Harper's two-day visit to the Tech campus which ended Thursday afternoon, Reneau and the Athletic Council made the decision to stay in house with the hire.
