I can confirm a couple of coaching hires in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC)…

• New Coppin State head coach Juan Dixon will add Phil Gaetano to his staff as an assistant. Gaetano spent this past season as an assistant with the Maine Red Claws (NBA D-League). Prior to that, he worked as a graduate assistant at Sacred Heart University where he played.

• ---

  North Carolina A&T has added David Butts as an assistant coach. He served as an assistant coach at DIII Rosemont College this past season. Butts has also worked as an assistant at Cecil College, and at a few Philadelphia prep schools.

Official announcements on both hirings are expected shortly.
