Monday saw the departure of longtime Andy Kennedy assistant Bill Armstrong, who accepted a similar post at LSU, as confirmed to the Clarion-Ledger. Armstrong began his tenure with the arrival of Kennedy in 2006, and spent six years as an assistant. He was one of AK’s fiercest recruiters, helping to bag standout guard Terence Davis, among others.
Armstrong played college ball at UAB and was in fact coached by then-assistant man Andy Kennedy from 1998 to 2001.
It’s something of a lateral move for Armstrong, who most assuredly harbors aspirations to be a head coach someday.
