Second assistant chosen

May 23, 2016 - Previously we've been the first to reveal the departure of two Georgetown assistant coaches (Kevin Sutton and Tavares Hardy), and the hiring of another (Akbar Waheed). Members of this site are always in the know.

Despite speculation Patrick Ewing, Jr. may be elevated from Director of Basketball Operations to full assistant, reports such as Jon Rothstein's tweet have indicated Anthony Solomon will in fact get the job.

A longtime Notre Dame assistant coach (10 years), Solomon has served two stints in South Bend, IN (2000-03 and 2008-15) while the team has enjoyed tremendous success, getting to seven NCAA Tournaments and going 231-110 during that time.

Other coaching stops include head guy at St. Bonaventure (2003-2007) and assistant gigs at Dayton, Delaware, Bowling Green, Manhattan, Richmond, and UVA, the last being his alma mater.

Solomon walked on UVA's team in 1983, earning four letters before graduating with a bachelor's degree in rhetoric and communication studies.

Safe to say, he's a smart, talented, experienced coach who should bring much to The Hilltop.
