Watch now: Tony Wills returning to ISU's basketball program as director of player personnel and video

NORMAL — Illinois State head basketball coach Dan Muller has added a familiar face to his staff.

Tony Wills, who played with ISU from 2013-17 and helped the Redbirds to a Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title as a senior, has been hired as the team's director of player personnel and video.

Wills replaces John Putyrski, who has been promoted to ISU's director of basketball operations.

"To say I’m excited to bring Tony Wills back home would be an understatement,” said Muller. "Tony exemplifies what Illinois State basketball is, and I know he is going to be a great help to our staff and players as he continues his professional journey.
