Seems like a home run hire and someone who has been with TJ before.

1 down and 1 to go for staff additions.

Read a short bio. Know as a "shooter's" coach. Maybe he can lift FT percentages by 10 or 15 percent.

Midwest guy. Guessing he has connections throughout the Midwest, great fit for what we try to do here.

Seems solid. Lots of good experience and knows and probably understands TJs vision.
Recruiting would be my biggest question.

Being associated with Tom Crean gives me a bit of an ick but at this point, I trust anyone TJ wants to bring in.

Recruiting will be the next coach I am guessing.

TJ working that magic again. I will overlook his short stint at Iowa in 06/07. On a serious note- it appears that TJ hired him once at UNLV so welcome aboard the Cyclone Express.

Hey don’t bag on Lickliter…..I thought that guy was great for Iowa.

Pretty sure he was at Iowa working for Steve Alford, not Lickliter

 

[cyfan92]

New DC and Green replacement?

Cincy had great defenses the past few years

Somehow I thought Lick started the same year as McD.

McDermott started at Iowa State in 2006 and that was Alford's last year at Iowa. Then Lickliter came to Iowa in 2007.

Yeah thinking a strong recruiter who knows his defense would be ideal.

That was Jeff but I like what you did there.....

 

[CycloneVet]

I’m hoping the next assistant knows how to coach offense, able to recruit the South, and doesn’t like chapped lips….

 

[CysEyesVet]

This seems promising! I'm excited about the hire!

Gotta like the life of college basketball coach, be prepared to move every few years.

Seems like a great hire. Has worked before with TJ, but also experience with other good basketball minds.
