After former WSU Assistant Coach Lou Gudino accepted an assistant coaching position at Ball State earlier today, Head Coach Isaac Brown moved quickly to find his replacement.
Butch Pierre is set to join the Shocker coaching staff, according to multiple reports. Pierre would bring over 30 years of coaching experience to the coaching staff, as a head coach and assistant. During his time at the Division-I level, Pierre’s coaching has resulted in nine conference championships, 12 NCAA Tournaments, including a Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final 4 appearance, and three NIT appearances.
Pierre served as an assistant coach at multiple Power-Five schools, including Oklahoma State (2008-16), LSU (1997-2008) and NC State (2016-17).
