Found this too, "“I have no clue (why). It was a personal matter with TP,” Stoudamire said Saturday after Tech defeated Penn State at Madison Square Garden.

It sounds like Parker quit instead of getting fired. Sounds like CDS doesn't know why he quit.

I thought I heard in the post game press conference that CDS said that Parker quit due to a personal matter. CDS said that if Parker's reasons were to be made public, it should be done by Parker. I know nothing about it being a dischargeable matter.

Not sure exactly what's about to happen, but there are indicators a new staff member is incoming.

Never mind, not Sheed but I think the news here is paywalled for now. Maybe poke around recent followers of some social media accounts ;)

Still unsure of exact position, but since he's changed his IG to connect himself to GT basketball, Greg Gary, recently former Mercer head coach is joining the staff. Spent time as an assistant at Purdue and Miami for significant lengths of time.

Mercer took it to us a few years ago. I think they were using that Purdue offense.

From the looks of his twitter page, something brewing for sure. He was also an assistant to Max Painter at Purdue for 8 years before taking the Mercer job. Reportedly he was in charge of the Boilmsker’s offense & coaching their post players.

I love having guys come back home. Does Forrest have recent ties to coaching in college? I saw via a quick google search that he has coached AAU, so is this hire to help with recruiting?

From what I read in the Jul1 2023 NCAA decision to increase the number of basketball coaches from four to six, with the additional two not being able to recruit off campus, Tech already had 6 coaches when James was added as a special assistant to the head coach. This ruling eliminated the roles of voluntary assistant coaches. The 2023 NCAA decision also allowed non-coaching staff members to assist in skill development, which the AJC article stated that James would do. So it looks like James will officially not be considered a recruiting asset. But obviously his name, image, and likeness could be an asset, even though he is not labeled a coach. The roster now has 14 players and 15 staff members for men's basketball. The first day of fall semester classes is August 18.
