BOULDER – Bill Grier has been named an assistant coach for the University of Colorado men’s basketball team, head coach Tad Boyle announced on Friday.
Grier replaces Rodney Billups, who left Colorado after six seasons last month to become the head coach at Denver.
“It’s a great opportunity to work for, and with Tad,” Grier said. “I’ve watched what he’s done as a head coach, at Northern Colorado and now at Colorado. It’s very impressive what he’s done, and he does it the right way. Tad has really raised the level of the program and I look forward to the opportunity to help him continue to build it.
