MU hires two assistants
Written by: Todd Rosiak
After a lengthy search process, Buzz Williams has filled two of the three spots on his coaching staff.
Tony Benford, a veteran Division I assistant who spent the last two seasons at Nebraska, and Aki Collins, a native New Yorker who spent the past two seasons at Fairfield, have been hired. Collins arrives in town early this afternoon and Benford later in the evening, and both are expected to jump right into their new positions.
"Real excited to have both of them here," said Buzz Williams. "I think that they're both dominant pieces in regards to the future of our program, but I don't think I won't say the same thing about anybody else that I will hire."
I'll be updating this story throughout the afternoon.
