Amy Folan said McAfee has strong ties to the roster and deep experience after Bronkema was put on leave without explanation.
- Central Michigan University placed men's basketball coach Andy Bronkema on leave Thursday, Nov. 5, without providing a reason. Athletics Director Amy Folan appointed associate head coach Raymoan McAfee as interim head coach.
