Interesting. I like following things like this with assistants. It's really hard to track, but can be very telling with enough data points.

Yak will not be an assistant for very long. John Beilein has pointed to Yak for a lot of Michigan's success this season. I think in the next few years (once his son is done with HS in 2020), Yak will be a HC. I wouldn't be surprised that around the same time, ILST has a head coaching vacancy and Yak returns to his Alma Mater.

That was Bradley from 3 years ago, when Wardle was hired and only Donte Thomas stayed. It will be a rough couple of years for Evansville for sure.

Looking like Walter McCarty will get the HC job at UE.

Current assistant coach on the Boston Celtics.
First round draft pick in 1996. Left the League in 2006.
Originally from Evansville, but went to Kentucky.
Assistant at Louisville, Indiana Pacers, and Celtics.

His salary is probably about to drop a bit if he takes the job

Walter McCarty is the new Aces coach.

If Walter can keep Dru, and Taylor, plus get a couple of recruits who can make shots, the Aces may not be as bad as we have been thinking. One thing will be sure, we will see a more exciting brand of basketball from the Aces next year, win or lose.

Waltah is a great get for the Aces.

Played/Coached under Pitino. Coached under Brad Stevens.

I bet he's learned a thing or two.
