Marquette assistant Brett Nelson will be named head coach at Holy Cross, according to a source. Very well-respected in basketball circles, Nelson has been with #mubb since Steve Wojciechowski's first season in 2014-15. He was promoted to associate head coach in 2017.


Well, at least Mark Phelps is available.

Best of luck to Brett.  Great spot to begin his head coaching career!

It will be interesting to see if Diener gets the job. I have a feeling he wants to play one more year but he could come back for this now.

Didn't even realize there were openings out there.  Good for Brett but really late in the game.

Was he good? Did he leave on good terms?

Good luck to Brett.

Now we'll need another shooter for the noontime coaches' games.

HC's previous coach, Bill Carmody, retired about two weeks ago, in part because his wife is battling cancer.

Woah, late hire indeed. Best of luck to Brett!

Presutti to Assistant with Madhavapallil taking over DOB & giving Cam more responsibility wouldn't be the worst if they elect to go in-house this late. But I'm guessing Wojo has a short list ready to roll.

GoldenWarrior11

Wow - great news for Brett and his family.  I could be wrong, but was Brett not a final candidate for Drake's position last spring?

The reason HC was open was because Bill Carmody had a late "resignation" this Spring.  It actually was only open for a few weeks. 

Mr. Sand-Knit

Wojo needs to hire a top assistant with strong connections to some good recruits.  Im sure Nelson was a fine asst. but his list of recruits was not very impressive.  Stan hasnt done much lately either. Duane has been Killings it.

Hire Dave Hauser

Everyone else does this...now would be a perfect time to hire a brother or a father, uncle, family member of a top recruit.  :)

Or...the perfect time to bring in a veteran X's and O's guy

Not to mention Stan has been lead on all the guys from Minnesota as well.

Good news for Brett, but that will be a big loss. He was the guy who worked with the shooters and I believe he's been a big part of why our three-point shooting has been so good. With Stan and Dwayne in the fold, I'm less worried about a recruiting ace and more hopeful we get someone who works well with X's and O's. Too bad Yaklich isn't still out there. Will be interesting to see who Wojo gets. Diener is a good shout and I could see it. I know he's still been involved with the program, though obviously on the periphery with his playing career front and center.

I don't particularly like the idea of hiring from in house. Jon Harris could be a good option, though I don't know much about his history as a recruiter.

Love it! You get an A+.

It is simple, a father of a high school All-American, sort of like Pat Baldwin, they could pay him more than UWM

If you want a shooting coach, then Steve Novak

Baldwin earns $350K and has a $700K buyout.
So, I guess the question is, is it worth it for MU to pay $1.1 million-ish this year and about $400K a year going forward for a one-and-done? That's way above adidas' rate.

Ok, so that seems to rich for me, so another HS All-American father is fine.  Happens all the time.

Congrats to Brett and his Family. Going to a solid institution with a good opportunity. Holy Cross has some very nice facilities on their campus.  I think Brett will have the team in the top tier of the Patriot League in due course.

Wojo now has a head coaching tree.

As for a replacement, I would imagine that this good news will help attract a high quality up and coming young assistant. Someone young and ambitious.
