The former assistant at Temple will join Kevin Ollie's staff for the 2016-2017 season.
On June 24, in accordance with state law, a job was posted searching for an assistant coach to replace Karl Hobbs, who is now the associate head coach at Rutgers. Previous to the job posting, it was widely assumed that Kevin Freeman, current director of basketball operations, would be promoted to replace Hobbs.
The job posting, however, included some hefty qualifications which Freeman does not have. It was looking for NBA experience and at least five years of assistant coaching experience, among other requirements.
