Valparaiso brings back Roger Powell Jr as Beacons' new coach | |
VALPARAISO, Ind. (AP) Valparaiso hired former Illinois star Roger Powell Jr. as its new men's basketball coach Friday, making him the first Black coach in program history. Powell served an assistant coach at Valpo on coach Bryce Drew's staff from 2011-16 and then followed Drew to Vanderbilt where he was the associate head coach. Powell spent the last five seasons at Gonzaga, which went 121-13 and finsihed as the 2020-21 national runner-up. Powell replaces coach Matt Lottich, who was fired last month after going 108-117 in seven seasons, including 11-21 in 2022-23. Lottich, like Powell, also was an assistant with Drew but was promoted to head coach following Drew's departure. MORE | |
