Gophers director of basketball operations Nate Pomeday was promoted to assistant coach on Richard Pitino's staff, according to a source Thursday.
Pomeday, a former Northwestern guard, joined the University of Minnesota staff last summer after serving as an assistant at Oregon State for five seasons.
Pitino filled the position left open when Dan McHale was hired as Eastern Kentucky's coach.
Pomeday has been on the road recruiting since McHale's departure. He is the lead recruiter for Northwest College (Wy.) 6-foot-10 forward Chris Boucher, who was the national junior college player of the year.
