What’s even more crazy is that former head coach Derek Kellog is an assistant coach on Frank Martin’s staff.

I guess it makes sense because he grew up in the area; but I can't think of another coach who went back to being an assistant.

EDIT: Besides a senior coach who is at retirement age.

I had to look it up bc I thought Joe Mullaney returned as Asst coach under Gavitt at PC but I had it wrong…..Mullaney returned as head coach after Gavitt left coaching to form The Big East.

It will be interesting to see what Martin does here. I always had him lined as one of the most overrated college coaches in the game…..kinda like the Ed Orgeron of college basketball, looks mean and stern like an old school great coach looks. Until you begin digging into his actual coaching which (had been) god awful.

Came back to beat Harvard at Harvard. This team looks like the real deal.
