Lobo hoops notes: Pitino completes staff with Mountain West veteran

In the past four seasons Tarvish Felton spent on the bench at Fresno State, including the last two as associate head coach, the Bulldogs went 8-1 against the UNM Lobo men’s basketball team.

It’s time the Lobos see what that’s all about.

Richard Pitino on Monday announced he has hired Felton as the team’s third assistant coach, filling the vacancy created in early July when Andy Hill left the program to take a job near family at Montana State.

“The biggest thing you are going to see from Tarvish on a daily basis is his infectious enthusiasm on and off the court,” Pitino said in a news release from the school.
