I'm sure this happens alot but, seems a bit like a dick move by TF to poach an assistant under contract with another team who just began his time there, before the first season. Curious if UMass had to agree to letting him out of his contract

Who knows? Maybe Will Bailey approached TF when a position opened up.

^ That's why I'm curious to know who might have contacted Frank when this spot opened up. This is almost harder to take than recruiting news (or lack thereof).

Most coaches talk to other coaches 1st before they start poaching their staff.

Not exactly a hoops mecca. Any background, insiders?

I'm assuming his ties to the state of Rhode Island being a URI alum don't hurt. I've got a contact over there, I'll reach out for some info.

His time with McCall likely didn’t boost his resume.

Serious question. In football, we know what the roles are of the assistant coaches. I would like to see that in BB. Other than Bergeron running the D (an abject failure), are we ever told what the assistants are responsible for?

Bergeron running the D was an aberration. Most assistants work with specific positions and recruit in basketball.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I would like to know if specific assistants have specific roles such as:
working with the bigs
working with the guards
scouting
defensive specialist
offensive specialist
recruiting

I'm sure they do more than 1 thing but they they probably have a primary responsibility.
