It was certainly a blow a few weeks ago when Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s hoops assistant coach Ryan Humphrey — a talented, up-and-coming coach and alumnus of ND — accepted an assistant coach position under Porter Moser on the Oklahoma Sooners staff.
As many of you know, Humphrey began his collegiate career at Oklahoma (and is a Tulsa, OK native) before transferring to Notre Dame, being named an All-Big 12 performer in his sophomore season prior to transferring, sitting out a season, and then twice being named an All-Big East player while averaging a double-double for the Irish (and eventually being drafted 19th overall by the Utah Jazz and then traded on draft night to the Orlando Magic).
