Bio is here.
Desmond Oliver bio - Charlotte 49ers

 

[Special Ed]

"Oliver has spent seven years on the coaching staff of three schools... In those seven years, he helped those schools make four NIT appearances."

Looks like a good man to have on board if our aspirations are only to make the NIT tourney.

[Special Ed]

I'd rather keep Al.

Nope

Not when special Ed says so

Special Ed is the foremost expert when it comes to college basketball assistant coaches

 

[Nashvegas31]

Looking for the east coast recruiting ties. Another interesting connection could be Mike Thorne. The grad transfer that everyone wants is transferring from Charlotte

 

[Special Ed]

Looks like he's considering Rob Lanier, too.

Barnes did some great work to turn around that Rob Lanier situation. Kudos. Was heading the other way for a while.

Does anybody really know anything? Some say he's coming others say he's staying. I'm just going to wait for the official announcement.

 

[VolnTitan]

Well Volquest is reporting it is a done deal.

Austin Price and Wes Rucker are both saying he's coming, which I would assume they have confirmed prior to reporting.

Boom!?

 

[BurninOrange]

Boom!?

It is a great coup for CRB and his staff. Now I wonder who the third assistant will be? I kind of hope he retains CAP

If they have hired Lanier, Oliver, and Ogden, then it sounds like Pinkins is out?

Unless he takes a Dir of Ops role like Fancher had a few years back?

 

[TechnoVol]

Scratch Lanier.
He's staying put.

^^^ Thankfully a swing and a miss. :good!:
