Crazy few days – just wanted to catch-up on some things that I’ve heard…
- Heard from a great source that former Rutgers assistant Van Macon is in the mix to join the staff at FIU. He had spent the past six seasons at Rutgers.
- I have now heard from multiple sources that Winthrop associate head coach Mark Prosser is in the mix at Dartmouth. He has also been an assistant at Wofford and Bucknell. I have the other candidates here, and will post something early next week.
- It sounds like Holy Cross assistant Kevin Driscoll is headed to NJIT. He is a former Hoop Group staffer, and would be the third Hoop Group guy on new head coach Brian Kennedy’s staff. I have heard that Kennedy will retain current assistant Kim Waiters and DBO Andrew McGlynn.
- The search at Nicholls State is heating up. I’ve heard LSU assistant coach Al Pinkins and a current ACC assistant mentioned here. Also some small college guys involved. More on this one soon.
- I have heard that Derrick Phelps and Todd Golden are in the mix for assistant spots at San Francisco. New head coach Kyle Smith has already officially hired Kevin Hovde who was on his staff at Columbia.
- I’m hearing all kinds of crazy stuff from the search at DII California (PA). Sounds like they have been turned down by at least one candidate, and may look at candidates other than the original finalists.
- Brandon Stromer, who became the head coach at Graceland University (IA) back on April 5th will be returning to his position as an assistant at Simpson College. The move back to Simpson was for family reasons.
- Erik Saroney has been hired as the new head coach at Onondaga CC (NY). He replaces Dave Pasiak who was released during the season. Saroney was a successful HS coach in the area.
