Apparently according to hoop dirt.con there is a recent opening for a full time basketball coach position. The posting is for a Special Assistant to the Head Coach which was previously filled by Assistant Coach Nickleberry.

Mitchell aside, Wade needs to be looking to add some more support/analysts type positions. Can only help for film breakdown and scouting. But more importantly, NCAA passed a new rule for this summer allowing for teams to have non full time coaches work directly with players during the summer workout periods. It was done b/c coaches complained that they need to spend the bulk of this summer recruiting to play catch-up from Covid, which means there would be no one left on campus to do player workouts and skill practices.

This would be a great opportunity to bring in a couple technically sound coaches and developers not interested in being a FT coach b/c of recruiting and let one work with the guards and the other work with the front court guys.
