Eric Musselman is the new associate coach, filling the spot left open when Korey McCray left. LINK

quote:

Musselman served as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA from 2002-04 and later the Sacramento Kings in 2006-07. In 2002-03, Musselman was second in NBA Coach of the Year voting (to Gregg Popovich) as he led the Warriors to their two best seasons in 10 years, including a 51-31 home record. The Warriors were the most improved team in the league with 17 more wins.

His coaching style fits well with Coach Jones up-tempo play at LSU as his team at Golden State was the second-leading scoring team in the league in 2003 at 102.4 points per game.

Is this the "X & O's" guy we have been waiting for?

GREAT GET. Perfect get. X/O guy even though y'all hate on the term. Rave reviews from other coaches and a ton of experience. He'll be the OC of sorts.

How in the hell did we get an ex-NBA head coach as LSU's assistant basketball coach? Especially one that has had tons of success?

Why isn't he aiming higher?


ETA:

great hire though, just perplexing on his part
