Damon Stoudamire today announced himself as the new men’s basketball coach in a unique way — a letter to his “younger self” on the popular new website “The Players Tribune.”
The entire letter can be found at: tinyurl.com/pacific-coach.
Stoudamire, a former NBA standout guard and most recently an assistant coach at the University of Memphis, steps into the opening created by the dismissal of Ron Verlin following an investigation into academic fraud.
Mike Burns, an assistant under Verlin, finished Pacific’s 8-20 season as interim head coach.
