Three years ago, Eric Musselman served on Johnny Jones' staff at LSU.
Next year, the roles will be reversed.
Jones, the former head coach at LSU, North Texas and Memphis, was hired Wednesday as the Wolf Pack basketball team's associate head coach.
“We are absolutely thrilled that coach Jones has joined our staff,” Musselman said in a news release announcing his hire. “I saw the leadership and basketball knowledge he possesses when we worked together at LSU. He’s going to be a very important part of many more tournament runs here at Nevada.”
Jones has coached at the Division I level in every season since his college playing career ended in 1984.
