CDS staff speculation.

[spdrama]

14 days. Should have even posted the day after he told the old staff he wasn’t retaining them. He could have been courting him, he could have been looking and weighing various options. It could be that others turned us down. It could have been a bunch of things.

The one thing it probably wasn’t, was due diligence. If it were, then the gap between the first two and the third wouldn’t have been so large.

I was just looking for some insight from people who might know, not a throw-away

We can all say this was a pretty good addition:

Interesting. He was at Arkansas as a grad assistant before. Glad we are bringing on additional staff to assist with recruiting.

Ah, folks were asking who the NBA guys were that CDS mentioned. I remember Babcock from his days with the Hawks.

Nate Babcock, I am intentionally not googling but thinking that name is familiar…..

Any relation to Pete Babcock?

His uncle. His dad was a former GM in the NBA.

Another coach added to the staff. This has to be the deepest staff room the basketball program has had.

Definitely a legit player. Should help the staff. Nice get.

I remember him pretty well. I think he and Damon had some mutual burn on the Blazers.

I know the article says that he’s an Asst.Coach. We already have the maximum of three of those. Gotta feel this is the Special Advisory A.C. to CDS, that was advertised right after our new H.C. accepted the job at GT?

Twitter embeds look to be broken for now. Until they fix it, this should be fair use (@John let us know if you disagree)

1. Provide the link (that should be attribution)
2. Paste the text or provide the gist of the x post, so people understand

Think I have an answer to my own question ….
Effective on July 1, 2023: The Council supported an increase of two coaches in men's and women's basketball. These additional coaches may engage in coaching activities but may not recruit off campus. The rules change codified a waiver in those sports that allowed noncoaching staff members to engage in skill instruction. In both Football Bowl Subdivision and Football Championship Subdivision football, the Council redefined graduate assistant positions to graduate student coaches and limited individuals to serving three years maximum in that role.

Bonzi Wells, the No. 11 overall pick in the 1998 NBA draft, is joining coach Damon Stoudamire’s staff at Georgia Tech, according to a release from LeMoyne-Owen College.

Wells, 46, coached LeMoyne-Owen for the past two seasons and was 34-22 at the Memphis, Tennessee, school that competes in Division II.

This is only team above high school I have ever known of that the coaches and staff (got to get BJ Elder) have the numbers and talent to beat the players in a pickup game.
