Do we have any word on potential staff? Anyone coming with him from Texas? Anyone you want to see stay or have him hire from outside his circle of coaches?
-
Hopefully they are out recruiting right now and get named later.

Hologram Al, Hologram Rick, Hologram Dean.

Why not - it'd be an easy commute from his current house 8-)

My dream hire would be Antoine Pettway. Seems impossible, though, since he's an Alabama grad on Nate Oats' staff, an Alabama native, the offensive coordinator for the Tide, and maybe the best recruiter in the country.

Diener bridge the gap?

I heard former right hand man to Coach K, Steve Wojciechowski, is on the market. Has first hand experience assisting a top tier program and recruiting

If Aidoo comes here, I would expect Justin Gainey to be on the staff.

Pretty damn handy with Power Point, too. Who needs a personality when you can whip out a killer PPT!
-
Love to see a former offensively minded veteran head coach, too. If Larry Krystkowiak or Steve Prohm are looking for work, they would be great choices for a spell.
-
I like Brew’s thinking, would help to bring that veteran insight and former head coaches who learned you can never have enough good advice/experience to lean on.
I’d like to see a Ex-Marquette player come onboard too, like Diener did for Wojo early on, I’d vote for Jerel (think he would bring that hunger/heart/junkyard dog vibe)

Makes sense. We would improve our record to 5 NCAAT appearances, but still no wins over next 7 years.

Shaka should look to add someone who's coached in the Big East, won the league title and conference tournament at MSG, been to 10+ NCAA Tournaments, been to the Final Four, and is currently unemployed so we don't have to buy them out.
Anyone have JT3's number?

JTIII isn't unemployed. Does he want to leave a cushy NBA job in his hometown to grind away as an assistant in Milwaukee?

Nice catch, I was looking at coaching jobs and he didn't have one, so different type of role. Regardless, I make that call. At least find out if you can get him. A proven HC as an assistant would help the staff.

Sure, worth a shot.
Any reason to think Shaka won't just bring his UT staff, or most if it, with him?
-

He might. My hope is that he won't for two reasons. First, Bill Scholl just fired a coach for refusing to mix up the staff that put us in this position. Second, that staff had him in position that Texas let him walk away for free. Getting Marquette to the point we all want to be at will take luckier bounces, but an upgraded staff could help that along.
-
The guys at Cracked Sidewalks, Paint Touches and Anonymous Eagle would be great additions. There would not be a stat that would get by Shaka. He would have Ken Pom and NET rankings memorized before every game.

Steele noted that Shaka or MU would be on the hook for about 600k if KT turner were not retained by either staff for next year.

I wonder if Havoc was Shaka's or really came from one of his assistants at VCU.
Anyone know?
if it's from an assistant, I want that guy on staff.

Reading around the Big East.....The UConn board thinks:
RJ Evans......Looks to have ties to the same east coast "connects" as Killings.....
I think Smart will keep some assists and and add some of his own circle for continuity......
UConn people think this one is a no-brainer.....
Texas assistant/manager......Looks to be about 30ish......Ex. B-ball player at Holy Cross I think......
-
If he's looking for an old confidant, I really like Dwight Perry from Wofford. Has worked with really smart offensive minds in Bob Richey at Furman & Jay McAuley at Wofford, but started his career as a grad assistant at VCU under Shaka.

Joe Chapman drank from a cup Wojo doesn't know exists.

Another Marquette coach is a Summit but he preferred reaching The Valley

Chapman has his hands full with his AAU program. Maybe in a few years, but I don't think this is the time for him.
Jerel McNeal is one that might be worth a shout.

I know little about what Chapman is doing AAU wise...but given what I've read on here and what many have hopefully correctly posted about Shaka's relationship with Phenom U...retainikg in-state talent shouldn't be an issue.

Has ties to the northeast, which MU could use given the loss of Killings.

I imagine that landing a premier assistant coach position is much like landing VC money. If you can't manage to get a warm introduction, you aren't getting an interview.

Shaka also had former Crean assistant Darrin Horn on his staff for his first four seasons in Austin.

The Energizer Bunny and Elon Musk have been added to Shaka Smarts staff:
Musk will provide quick chargers for all incoming recruits and current player while the Energizer Bunny will be responsible for maintaining high energy levels for all staff and players.

Hatt has one year as a full time assistant and 5 years as DBO under Shaka at TX and a year as a grad assistant at VCU. Cody may be filling a vacancy, but not Killings role.

Yes, 6 months as an assistant during COVID is the full D1 coaching resume.
-

It is unlikely that Hatt will be in the associate head coach role. I imagine it would be assistant. Still interested to see what KT Turner does and if he follows Shaka.
We still also don't know what the deal is with Gainey either. Hopefully we get a little bit more info going forward.
-
I don't expect Gainey or Presutti to stay. Not sure if Turner or Barry will follow. Turner may be trying to get a HC gig, especially with all the carousel fallout. I expect he'll be adding at least one as yet unknown assistant.
-
Shaka filled his Texas staff with many coaches that were familiar with the region. I’d imagine he would seek to do something similar, as Texas (other than Buzz era) wasn’t exactly known for recruiting Texas.
-
I think whether Gainey is kept on staff depends on if he's able to help prevent roster turnover and/or has some high end recruits he's able to land. Wasn't he the lead recruiter on a younger Nnaji brother? Is that connection still there?
Agree that Presutti is likely gone - he's a slightly more experienced Cody Hatt. No real benefit keeping them both.
I would like to see Shaka go after a guy like Cameron Dollar. He just left the staff at Washington. He has 23 years of experience, including 8 as head coach. His teams have played at a fast tempo with a high defensive TO% across his career (>70th% career average in both). Recruiting ties out west from his time at Seattle and Washington, but spent time in midwest with SLU.
Shaka, Hatt, Gainey, Dollar would be a strong staff.

Does anyone really know how this process works? Is it all quid pro quo? Isn’t hiring an assistant about who they can recruit vs their capabilities? Gotta think there are a lot of assistants trying to get recruits to commit? Hence the delay in timing.

Colectivo has become an umbrella term for armed paramilitary groups that operate in poverty-stricken areas and attack individuals, engaging in "extortion, kidnapping, drug trafficking and murder". They are associated with extrajudicial killings and terrorizing those who disagree with them.

When you're right, you're right. Not only would Wojo have had to replace Killings with a more experienced assistant, but I think for the sake of optics, Scholl and Lovell wanted some heads to roll to give the fans their pound of flesh, a la Louisville. That would've been Presutti and Judson.

I am not sure why all the Presutti hate. He is a very accomplished young assistant coach on the rise. Has done a good job at every level of basketball he has been in at, and actually has a lot of connections. He was very well liked by the players. This was his first year as a young assistant and he was doing fine, and even has us in the finals for the Kordell Charles recruitment.
https://twitter.com/kordellcharls/status/1331056251149619201
The issue with Wojo was about filling the departed Killings position with some highly experienced former head coach, which was abhorent to Wojo.
All that said, I think one day after the coaching carousel winds down there will be an announcement that Presutti has joined some other colleges coaching staff. Shaka hired Cody Hatt who is at a similar place in his coaching career, only room for one guy at that level.

I don't have an issue with Presutti personally, but promoting the video coordinator who had no previous experience being an actual Assistant Coach was a lazy move by Wojo. You only get three Assistants who can recruit on the staff and we had a lot of holes to fill in July of 2019 when he started. He brought in nobody in 2019...nobody in 2020...and nobody in 2021. He may be the best Video Coordinator/DBO in the world, but failed at bringing talent in to the program at a time of need. According to the current job posting for Assistant Coach, recruiting student athletes is the top requirement.

He was the DBO since 2017. That person that occupies that position is very important to the recruiting process because they are the direct interface that sets up and coordinates the recruiting visits both official and unofficial with the parents and the players. This is a key unsung role in the recruitment process.
When Jake got hired in July 2019 there was literally two weeks of recruiting periods left and he did an admirable job filling in for where Nelson left off. At that stage the recruiting is all about having multiple coaches watching a player in the summer games, I am sure you have seen the reports that say XYZ University 3 deep for prospect PDQ .
From there he went right into the season where the whole goal of recruiting is for all the assistants and head coaches to pull together to get the kids to actually sign. The head coach can't be everywhere and there is still a lot of care and feeding and daily dialogue. MU signed three prospects that fall. Jake also was the coach assigned to putting his efforts into developing early relationships with the class of 2022 and 2023 prospects, where there could be a longer lead time necessary for relationship building. After that Covid hit and cancelled on site recruiting and everything had to be done via video for the 20-21 recruiting cycle. So it is not fair to see he accomplished nothing.
I don't think the hire was a lazy one , as much as one made for expediency given the late hire by Holy Cross of Brett Nelson. If Nelson left earlier, I imagine that assistant spot would have been filled with a more experienced person and Persutti would have eventually gone to another school for his first assistant coaching job. The circumstances didn't allow for that.

Shaka, Hatt, Gainey, Dollar would be a strong staff.

Wojo pretty much always hired his assistants from outside. Stan, Killings, Gainey.... He wasn't one to make "lazy" hires.
I agree with Herman here. I have no idea why Jake has become this object of derision. Clearly Wojo saw something in him and promoted him - just like what happens in a real life workplace.
-
Hopefully, Shaka has the option to choose his own assistants and isn't just saddled with the leftovers from the Wojo era.
Shaka will be able to attract very qualified assistants to help build his culture and vision for the program.
-
If there are any assistants retained from Wojo it will be because Shaka wants them - not because he would be "saddled" with them.
-
Shaka's first coaching staff call should be to one Mike Deane. Big Mike would bring value for both in-game and post-game action.
Female lawyer butt cheek, anyone?
Mike Deane-level talent doesn't just grow on trees.

Would Jerry Wainwright put down his smoldering Camel to take a call?

Just because a head coach stinks doesn’t automatically mean the assistant does. Nick Nurse replaced Dwayne Casey after he got fired and has done well.
Gainey may be a very good assistant with a bad head coach. Or he may not be a good assistant and won’t be retained.

For all we know MU had/has great assistant coaches whose talents were hidden/blocked by Wojo's seeming inability to listen to anyone.

I don’t know who will end up on
the new staff ...
But, Wojos assistants could not have been that bad, as they are 3 for 3 in getting head coaching gigs in last few years...
Maybe it was other factors
-
If Shaka has a hair on his ass he will reach out to Jimmy Boylan.
Not only does he have a seat in The Pantheon of Marquette Legends but he tended bar at Lenny's. Frankly, I can think of no finer qualification to help steward our beloved Warriors back to greatness.

Hard to judge assistants as the tone is set by the head coach. As you say, 3 years in a row MU assistants have gotten HC gigs in mid-major settings. Kind of wonder if Shaka will keep Justin Gainey? AZ thought highly enough of him to hire as an assistant. Who knows.

Great point about Boylan. Here is a fun thought for the day: Imagine MU if Boylan was a bench assistant during Markus tenure.

But, Wojos assistants could not have been that bad, as they are 3 for 3 in getting head coaching gigs in last few years...
Maybe it was other factors
The problem was the assistants. Well...at least if Wojo had gone a different direction with his assistants, he would still be here. Yes, he sent three to HC jobs, but the only one that really fully developed into that here was Brett Nelson. Stan got over the hump here, but had 12 years of coaching and had been at multiple high-majors before coming to Marquette. Killings came in with 15 years of experience in the NBA and at a damn-near high-major in UConn.
In recent years, though, Wojo changed his focus with assistants. Phelps had HC experience on that first staff but no one else has brought that since. Wojo brought in top-notch recruiters in Stan and Killings, both on the verge of HC jobs, and probably had his best staff in 2018 when he had Nelson, Stan, and Killings on staff. But after that, he replaced Brett with Presutti, who brought little outside experience. Similarly, Gainey came back after working at some decent programs, but had spent time under Wojo and likely wasn't a voice to challenge the head coach. When Killings left, the impression I get is that Wojo had two loyalists who were going to reinforce his beliefs rather than challenging them.
He was given the option to make changes, which likely would've required at least one outside hire with experience and possibly replacing one of his current staff, similar to what Chris Mack did at Louisville. He instead indicated he was going to stick with his guys and his ways, and thus he is unemployed.

If Shaka has a hair on his ass he will reach out to Jimmy Boylan.
Not only does he have a seat in The Pantheon of Marquette Legends but he tended bar at Lenny's. Frankly, I can think of no finer qualification to help steward our beloved Warriors back to greatness.
I think you need to retire. Your comments are ridiculous.

I'm not buying the "if you don't fire your assistants you're out" excuse...I can't say how this goes down in D1 basketball, but I would have to guess the moment MU put out feelers to Shaka and he showed interest...MU told Wojo he wasn't coming back and they pounced on Shaka. As an organization you don't brag about that...but I've certainly done similar for much smaller stakes. You help the departed leave with the best rationale possible.
My second guess would be the pressure became too much to retain Wojo so they sat down and came up with that excuse and later lucked into Shaka.
Here's what isn't making sense to me...MU owes Wojo some big $. He just refused a direct request from his superior (I will not fire my assitants)...and he walks with a buyout? Do they have a clause in their contract that says the hiring and firing of staff is solely their duty?
Does MU put that on him as a way to negotiate a lower buyout? I have a rolling 2-year contract. If I refused a direct order from my board I would be fired and not paid out a dime. I also wouldn't refuse to fire one guy if it meant I could save the others...but I supose Wojo is capable of that.

My guess is that the contract gives the head coach the right to pick his assistants.

Bad guess. That is generally not the case at all. In fact, you'll see paragraph(s) regarding hiring authority that makes it clear that not only does the head coach have no hiring authority, but that even slightly hinting or representing that they may to a potential assistant coach is a serious breach of contract. The hiring authority for assistants lies with the athletic director. Obviously, as an AD you'd like your head coach to be able to 'pick' candidates... but there is no 'right' and even hinting by a head coach that they get to make the call is a big no no.
Some programs had major, major issues with this matter years ago... over the past couple of decades, they've been much tighter in the contractual language.

I'm sure in a technical sense, it's the AD that has to extend the contract offer, etc. An assistant is employed by the athletic department/university, not the head coach. So it makes sense that the contractual hiring authority lies with the AD.
That said, I very much doubt Nick Saban needs Greg Byrne to sign off in any substantive way on his staff choices, or he risked being deemed out of line by the University of Alabama when picked Bill O'Brien for the OC job.

Another call Shaka needs to make is to KO.
After 7 long, miserable years of vanilla white cake I can think of no better tonic than a healthy dose of alcohol-fueled, expletive-laced outbursts both on and off the court.
Marquette basketball needs to get back to its roots - a proud heritage of fisticuffs, vulgarity, chutzpah, swagger, presumption, and audacity.
Who better than KO to re-index the Marquette brand? This is a man who thrived on a steady diet of booze, broads, and basketball and punctuated his appreciation for all of life's earthy pleasures with full-throated salty paeans of that would make a sailor blush.
We were the Oakland Raiders of college basketball. The Hell's Angels of Hoops. It's time to reinvigorate the brand. Bring back KO!
-
Great point about Boylan. Here is a fun thought for the day: Imagine MU if Boylan was a bench assistant during Markus tenure.
Boylan would have been a great presence but there is no way Caspar Milquetoast would have wanted him on the bench. Boylan has a visceral appreciation for the nuance of the game that Mr Deer in the Headlights will never possess.

I think you need to retire. Your comments are ridiculous.
Obviously you have never spent time perched on a stool at Lenny's. There are many alums who consider that watering hole the most important classroom of their Marquette education.
And Jimmy Boylan not only drank there but dispensed both wisdom and the nectar which slaked their intellectual thirst.
It was a classic hole in the wall bar where a man could find comfort either in the camaraderie of kindred spirits or the gentle caress of solitude and Oban single malt.
Life was defined in the hazy blue smoke which spiraled upward through the red neon rays of one too many beer signs.
It was a place where the denizens of the dark found refuge from the sharp sting of a January Milwaukee night. Where ideas were born...and where dreams slid into the coma of a silent, agonizing sleep. One could see Ron Cuzner bellied up to the bar, unfiltered Camel perched between thin lips, hacking the phlegm of a life lived richly.

Lenny's Tap...
It was a place where heartache wasn't a stranger and the sting of cheap booze somehow only eased but never cured life's agony.
A heady mixture of sweat, cigarette smoke, body odor, and the stale perfume of the tart in leopard skin spandex whose ass was wrapped around her bar stool and her cherry red lips around the head of a PBR bottle.
It was a place Al would have been proud to drink at and probably did.
Where dreams died and agony thrived through the gauzy fog of one last unfiltered Camel.
For a few dollars a man could find sanctuary in a guileless world of doom and despair framed in flashing neon. Of all the gin joints in Milwaukee this was the oasis, the shimmering chimera of shame in city that gives no quarter...

Love Cam, great guy and a part of a dyed in the wool Marquette family, but the best thing for his coaching aspirations, provided that’s what he’s aiming for, would be to spread his wings. Call Stan, call Killings, hell reach out to Doc for a reco. Marquette will always be there for him

Actually relieved. Turner is probably an outstanding coach and recruiter, but his specialty is Texas. I did not think that would be a fit here.
Even happier that the buyouts are officially off the books now.

So we pretty much hired Shaka Smart for free. That's neat. 8-)

Keefe is keen on what it takes for Marquette to get back to its roots. This is an underrated post, for Keefe’s header quote (not to take him literally) foreshadows an understanding that KO wants nothing of this wussified new coaching world...
...but maybe he could stop by a couple practices, drink in hand, and help toughen up the enlistees at the inspection line, a la AL, letting them know they may be high 4-stars but ain’t done $#@t yet. Tell them the greatest favor they can do themselves, their coach, and Marquette is to allow themselves to be truly coached. It would be quite the lesson, as the impressionable young lads would simultaneously learn lessons of humility, truth, and the admonition against vile, word-slurringly cynical degeneracy only Uncle Kev could provide.
Keefe knows you couldn’t pay KO enough to get back into coaching. Just listen to him in that recent Podcast. That said, the brand has definitely gotten a bit soft. When Bill Cords alerted Keven that he was already at the recruiting budget threshold only three months into his Year1 tenure, KO told him to F off, “you hired me to Win, didn’t you?”
Here’s hoping the firm of Smart and Scholl (KO’s rant on ADs on the Marq’d Men Podcast is legendary)
finds some $ in the budget to pay KO some consulting/speaking fees a couple times a year.

I appreciate your post and your information. I do understand you are just passing along MUBB info.
With that said, is there more of a negative nancy twitter feed than Coaching Changes? It's concept appears to be a bunch of sexist, mysogistic ex coaches, negatively gossipping about other coaches. I find it difficult to believe an adult runs that account.
Obviously Gainey has his Sean Miller connection going back to N.C. State, that can help him land at Xavier.

So far we only seem to know that Shaka and Cody Hatt are on staff.
Seems like we should know more soon given the moving pieces yesterday/today.

Not saying Gainey won’t land at Xavier but I find it odd he is still listed as associate coach on the website.
I think if he was out the door already, then they would of took him off with Presutti.
-
Maybe his agent is stirring up some competition to get Gainey a nice raise.
-
I imagine that Hatt or other coaches haven't been announced due to dead period. Can't help but think that he (or others) might be talking to David and Tamar on our behalf, but not in an official capacity that would require following the dead period restrictions.

I’m not sure the second part is true given Hatt has been mentioned in articles by players in the transfer portal as recruiting them for Marquette
-
Shaka should look to add someone who's coached in the Big East, won the league title and conference tournament at MSG, been to 10+ NCAA Tournaments, been to the Final Four, and is currently unemployed so we don't have to buy them out.
Anyone have JT3's number?
Jerry Wainwright fits this bill
-
I think someone posted earlier that the dead period is mostly centered around in-person recruiting. So Hatt wouldn’t have any advantage unless he’s visiting someone like Joplin in person.
I think Beard has already named his staff and Moser already announced some ACs. I’m thinking this is less about an advantage and more just ironing out contractual things. Or they want to announce the staff all at once. If it’s such a big advantage, I’d figure most of the new coaches wouldn’t have named their staffs yet.

Marquette posted a notice for an Assistant Coach position on its HR website on March 28. My guess is that position needs to be open for a certain number of days, and some sort of review process needs to occur, before any hire can be officially made.

Depends on the program. Lot of GAs are only a year. Or leave after a year. Gates was only at MU for a year.

I know there are 1 year programs but I think most are 2 year. Gates I'm not sure finished in a year. He was a GA at Marquette for a year and then a GA at Florida State for a year. I'm not sure if he got two one year degrees or if he transferred in the middle of a two-year degree.

His title is Program Assistant and not Graduate Assistant for what it’s worth.

Right. I just meant a graduate program being 2 years didn’t necessarily mean you’d be there 2 years. Much like a 5th year senior transferring cause their school didn’t have their “intended major”, I’m sure the program situation is flexible to the long term coaching goals of the assistant.

Mike Rice, “Restricted Earnings Coach,” Hegarty’s Bartender.

Neil Berry- a former texas assistant, seems like he might become the second MU coach along with Cody Hatt

Eye herd Chuck Berry, hey?

Those were the days. Deane-o’s performance the night of the Packers Super Bowl XXXI win (and MU’s road win at DePaul) was stuff of legend.

Did he really tend bar at Hegarty's?
He probably learned to chuck sh1t at people from his days behind the bar at Hegarty's

Gainey to Tennessee, per his Twitter account. Aidoo might not be far behind.
A poster on Dodds' board says Cody Hatt and Neill Berry are listed in the athletic directory, but no update on GoMarquette at this point. Both were on Shaka's staff at Texas.

All on staff with him at Texas.
Cody Hatt: https://texassports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/cody-hatt/2893
Neill Berry: https://texassports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/neill-berry/2899
Nevada Smith: https://texassports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/coaches/nevada-smith/2906
Shaka's associate head coach there, K.T. Turner, accepted the associate role for Porter Moser at Oklahoma. So obviously there is one more assistant role to fill.
-
I see Neill Berry spent some time at Iowa State, so he already has experience coaching Marquette players.
-
Nevada's time with the Heat G-League should be a fantastic addition to #mubb. The Heat organization is one of the best in sports. Riley is meticulous and it carries through to all levels.

Nice to see in this group is some good player development and coaching experience. I am probably a bit too on the optimistic side, but things look rosy lately.

I've been told that Shaka credits the addition of Nevada as the reason for the offensive resurgence at Texas last season. Big if true.
-
LOVING how the new staff is shaping up. As previously posted, it appears Smart has one open assistant role still to fill (perhaps it has already been filled). Would be interesting to see who that ends up being.
-
OT: but Nevada Smith sounds like a cheesy Indiana Jones rip-off.
-

Yes.

I don't want to speak out of turn but in addition to Hatt, Berry, and Smith, it sounds like DeAndre Haynes may also be on the staff. Has been an assistant at Kent State, Toledo, Michigan with Beilein, and then Maryland once Beilein left.
Here's his profile on the Maryland team site:
https://umterps.com/staff-directory/deandre-haynes/2836
Most notably, I love the comments about him as a developer of guards (he was instrumental for Anthony Cowan at Maryland and Zavier Simpson and Jordan Poole at Michigan). Not only with scoring, but with taking care of the ball!! What a novel concept for Marquette guards! In addition to that, he's an A+ recruiter. With Shaka having such great success with sending big men to the league in the lottery, I love that Haynes has such a track record with guards.
I also read a story where, while he was at Michigan, he accompanied Charles Matthews to the funeral of his mother mid-season. And the two of them then took a flight back to Detroit for the game that night. Sounds like a fantastic guy who his players love. Hope it works out that way.

Yes, his name has been mentioned elsewhere as a possibility for Shaka’s staff.

I would love Haynes in that final spot. Really high on this coaching staff if that ends up as the 4 slotting in.

It's always interesting how long it takes to get the "good stuff" from the "other boards". Today it appears it took 8 hours.

Nevada Smith is a Steve McQueen movie from the 60s. Great movie.

Nevada Smith is 1000% one of Nic Cage's confidants in Gone in 60 Seconds.

This is the only MUBB board I frequent, for better or (absolutely) worse.
So can anyone who goes to "the other boards" provide us all with "good stuff" in regards to recruiting and who is coming in? Sans Joplin who I think everyone knows is basically a given.

Both rip-offs of the original.

Lighten up dude There are at least 5 posts above including one from the moderator/hall monitor about Nevada Smith/Steve McQueen. Throw some aspersions their way.
Besides, we all know that McQueens greatest moment was when he plugged the mob hit man at the airport through the glass door in Bullit.

It would be nice though if people could use some discretion on which topics they railroad. Right now the transfers, recruiting, and new coaching staff is a very hot topic and it would be nice for those who just have time to pop in quick to look for updates on those to not have to Wade through 5 pages of mostly unrelated nonsense.

So far Todd Smith is still being listed as the Strength and Conditioning Coach ! ! ! 8-)

I don't think that's Shaka's hire I think it's Scholl's because he works with all the teams. Can anybody confirm?
My guess is each coach works with Todd to decide what to focus on and Todd adjusts for that.

I can't confirm in who's hire he is. Yes, he does work with MLAX as well.

@JonRothstein: Sources: Marquette's Shaka Smart will hire Maryland's DeAndre Haynes as an assistant coach.

Per Marquette Basketball, staff is announced. Cody Hatt, Neill Berry, & DeAndre Haynes are the assistants. Nevada Smith as special assistant.
