Memphis Tigers assistant will succeed Penny Collins, who left TSU to become an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Earlier report may be a bit premature. Seems Smith is a finalist along with Scottie Pippen and Sam Cassell.
Former Niner assistant headed to SoCon:

Richey also recently hired Joe Pierre III, son of another former Niner assistant, Butch Pierre.
Interesting since Tennessee State is the only OVC school that opted out of rev share this season.
Now there’s a name I haven’t seen in a while.

Really thought the Decourcy + Lutz back and forth prompted by the coaching change at Hawk Hill in Philly would elicit at the least a certain anticipated response from clt. 
Anyway, St. Joe’s has actually promoted Steve Donahue to permanent head coach after initial reports said he would serve as interim this upcoming season. One sports writer aptly referred to it as “failing up” - which actually describes Lange’s move to the NBA as well!

Ironic given Perry was interim before being named permanent Wofford HC following the dismissal of predecessor Jay McAuley almost three years ago.
With Mike Young probably out at VT after this upcoming season unless the Hokies make a deep run in the NCAAT, definitely works out for Giltner. Of course, have to expect some Wofford players to defect.
What is the probability we are in the 2026 cycle?
Now that this is official, will be interesting to see if Giltner can keep the team together.
Also anticipate that Perry will sue Wofford.
Not gonna lie. After getting to learn more about him after playing his tennessee team, I came to the conclusion that I didnt much care for him. always came off like a car salesman.

Does anyone know the real reason why Perry was fired?
