I really thought Pitt basketball would get through this off-season without having to replace another assistant coach. Heck, it now may be that Pitt may not have Assistant Coach Tom Herrion by the opening of the late signing period (Wednesday, April 16).
Either way, there are still other positions to be filled, even if they aren’t getting national headlines. One of them is in MAAC, where Marist continues to search for Matt Brady’s replacement.
According to sources, the leading candidate is Pittsburgh assistant Tom Herrion.
If so, Marist would be wise to close the deal ASAP.
[…] I’m not sure if this had anything to do with the interest Herrion received since the season ended for open jobs. To say nothing of fawning praise from the media (per ESPN.com’s Andy Katz, Insider sub.). Tom Herrion deserved the associate head coach title at Pitt he received Tuesday. Herrion has meshed quite well with Jamie Dixon in his first year on the job. Herrion knows just about everyone along the East Coast. He was successful at the College of Charleston before he was run out. Herrion will be a head coach again. He is a trusted, loyal assistant. Just ask Dixon and former Virginia and Providence coach Pete Gillen. […]
…hahaha wonderful
