Ira Bowman joins Auburn basketball staff as assistant coach

AUBURN, Ala. -- Ira Bowman has been named an assistant coach for the Auburn men's basketball program, head coach Bruce Pearl announced Friday.

Bowman comes to Auburn after spending the past six seasons at the University of Pennsylvania under head coach Steve Donahue. He was instrumental in the recruitment of team's top players and in the on-court development of the Quakers' perimeter players.
