UConn head coach Dan Hurley will be adding Kimani Young to his staff as an assistant coach, as first reported by Evan Daniels of 247Sports and confirmed by many others. Young has been on Richard Pitino’s staff for five seasons at the University of Minnesota, and for one season with him before that at Florida International.
The Forest Hills High (Queens, NY) graduate played Division 1 basketball at UTEP, where he was a 1000-point scorer for the Miners. He later started a career in community recreation in his native New York City, eventually making his way to the AAU/grassroots world, serving primarily in administration.
