Gregory picks assistant coach
Former Dayton coach Brian Gregory has added an assistant coach to his staff at Georgia Tech.
New UD coach Archie Miller is still putting together his staff. Gregorys associate head coach Billy Schmidt likely won’t be back, nor will Jon Borovich, who took a job with Northern Illinois. Assistant Cornell Mann could possibly keep his job with the Flyers. He has been a confidant for the UD players since his arrival a couple of years ago.
From the Georgia Tech Web site:
Chad Dollar, a 12-year veteran as a Division I assistant coach who played high school basketball in the Atlanta area, has joined the Georgia Tech basketball staff.
Dollar comes to Tech after spending the 2010-11 season at Wichita State, which won the NIT championship, went 29-8 overall and finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference regular season under head coach Gregg Marshall.
“I’m excited about bringing in a coach of the quality of Chad Dollar into the Georgia Tech program,” said Gregory. “He is a tremendous recruiter, but also a great teacher of the game. The Dollar name in the city of Atlanta and in the surrounding areas is well known in basketball circles. I know he’ll do great things here.”
Before going to Wichita State, Dollar spent three seasons as an assistant coach under John Brady, two at Arkansas State (2008-10) and one at LSU (2007-08). Prior to LSU, Dollar coached the 2006-07 campaign at Murray State and spent four seasons (2002-06) as an assistant at Georgia Southern. He was also an associate head coach at Eastern Kentucky (2001-02) under Travis Ford and served two seasons (1999-2001) on the staff at Western Carolina.
“The chance to join Coach Gregory, one of the top coaches in the country, and to come back home is an unbelievable opportunity for me,” said Dollar. “I look forward to helping the Georgia Tech program get to the place where it needs to be in the ACC and the nation.”
