Chris Dokish said this was coming, and sure enough, it’s official.

University of Pittsburgh head men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon announced on Wednesday the appointment of former Pitt star Brandin Knight as Program Assistant/Video Coordinator.

Knight’s appointment completes Dixon’s staff which consists of assistant coaches Mike Rice, Pat Sandle and Orlando Antigua, along with director of operations David Cox. In addition to other duties, Knight will serve as the chief video contact for the men’s basketball program and assist in the monitoring of academic progress.

“Brandin will be a tremendous asset to our program and we are extremely fortunate to have his assistance,” Dixon said. “Brandin was an outstanding role model for our players at the University of Pittsburgh and he was instrumental in turning our program around. He knows what we are trying to accomplish.”

The story is also out on the AP Wire.

No question it will be a good place for Brandin Knight to start if he is interested in being a coach one day. No doubt, it’s another public relations coup for Pitt basketball and Jamie Dixon with the hiring of one of Pitt’s most popular players.
