Earlier this week, as part of a series on the “Future of College Basketball,” Brian Hamilton of The Athletic posted a piece on 30 up and coming assistant coaches to keep an eye on. A Gonzaga assistant coach made Hamilton’s list, but it wasn’t Tommy Lloyd, who has popped up on such lists before and has seen his name thrown around the coaching carousel. No, this time it was Brian Michaelson, the former Gonzaga walk-on and co-captain who has been an assistant since July 2013 (though he’s been an assistant in some capacity with the program since 2008).
Is Brian Michaelson the next export from the Mark Few coaching tree?
