After serving under head coach Steve Wojciechowski from 2014-17 as director of operations, Justin Gainey returns to the Golden Eagles as associate head coach, Wojciechowski announced Friday morning.
He will join Dwayne Killings in the associate head coach position starting in the 2020-21 season.
“Justin is one of the nation’s top rising coaches and his talents, ability to build meaningful relationships and myriad of experiences alongside some of the game’s best teachers will serve our program, and most importantly our players, incredibly well,” Wojciechowski said in a statement.
After Gainey’s three seasons at MU, he went to work as an assistant coach at Santa Clara University under his former college coach Herb Sandek.
