His first day on the job was not much different from many others, albeit he is the newest member of the University of New Mexico men’s basketball coaching staff. Brandon Mason is right back where he started in his career of working in a Division I program – this time as an assistant coach for the new-look Lobos.
And to be quite frank, Mason said, “I’m feeling good, man.”
The first contact Mason made with new Lobo head coach Paul Weir was that of two friends making friendly chatter and what Mason thought was Weir joking around – that is until, Mason said, Weir was serious about asking him to come aboard.
