Pretty impressive to get a guy with a big name like that in that position.

Wonder if one of the NU assistants is close to retirement age.......

Former Bulls great - I believe during the Tim Floyd debacle.

You know things are going right when you bring in a good Hoosier!!

I would have preferred Jay Edwards, but AJ will do.

 

[haywood jahblowme]

same posisition that Chris Quinn and Ryan Humphrey held for NU as well. Solid list of former players for Collins to bring in

"Former Bulls great" gave me a chuckle.

I think that position was vacant last year after Ryan Humphrey left for Notre Dame...it never hurts to have outstanding former players in that position in the program.

Was he the guy who shot his free throws from all the way on the left side of the line?

When compared to luminaries like Khalid El-Amin and Kornel David, I feel like AJ only really deserves "former Bulls pretty good" status.

Floyd's been part of a lot of debacles.

He directs the development of our players. Duh.

This is a first job type of position and Collins mo seems to be to hire former players looking to move into coaching. And letting them gain a year of experience before they get that first assistant job.

Although Guyton WAS an assistant coach on a D League team last year......

I should have added "college" to assistant.
