According to reports, Kevin Freeman will be returning to Storrs to join Dan Hurley’s staff as an assistant coach for the UConn men’s basketball team. The news was first reported by Corey Evans of Rivals and confirmed by Hearst CT’s Dave Borges.
A member of the 1999 national championship team, Freeman will replace Kenya Hunter, who took a job with Indiana earlier in August.
Freeman returns to the Huskies from Penn State, where he has been an assistant coach for the past two seasons. As his first assistant coaching position, he has been part of the emergence of the Nittany Lions as a threat in the Big Ten under head coach Patrick Chambers.
