Texas finalizes Rodney Terry’s first coaching staff

The first coaching staff under Texas Longhorns head coach Rodney Terry is officially complete after the school announced the hires of Cory Schlesinger and Byron Jones on Monday.

Schlesinger replaces John Reilly as the team’s strength and conditioning coach — he officially holds the title of Assistant Coach, Director of Basketball Health and Performance — after spending four years with the Phoenix Suns, and also has 10 years of experience in collegiate athletics.

Previously an assistant under Terry at Fresno State for seven years, Jones has 25 years of coaching experience, including one year at Air Force and three years at Troy after working on Terry’s staff.
