Around SBN: SB Nation MMA Rankings for August 2010

WACO, Texas –Baylor head men’s basketball coach Scott Drew announced Tuesday the hiring of Tim Maloney as director of basketball operations. Maloney replaces one of Drew’s original staff members, Stephen Brough, who took an assistant coaching position at UMKC in July.
In addition to Maloney joining Drew’s staff, Paul Mills was promoted to assistant coach, replacing assistant Matthew Driscoll, who was named the head coach at North Florida in April. Mills, a 1996 Texas A&M graduate, had served for the previous six years as Baylor’s coordinator of operations. His former position will be filled by Dwon Clifton, who was the director of player development for the Bears last season.
Maloney, who has been coaching for 24 years, has six NCAA Tournament appearances and three NIT appearances in 12 years of Division I coaching to his credit, including two Sweet Sixteen, a Final Four and National Championship game appearances.
Maloney, who was a staff member on Florida’s 2000 NCAA national runner-up squad, last served as the Associate Head Coach at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for three seasons (2005-08). He served as recruiting coordinator for the Minutemen under current Oklahoma State head coach Travis Ford. Maloney and UMass won the 2006-07 Atlantic 10 Conference regular season crown and advanced to the 2008 National Invitation Tournament championship game in New York City.

So why would Brough leave Baylor to be an assistant coach at UMKC?

I’m assuming that’s University of Missouri at Kansas City. I don’t mean to be looking down on UMKC but I’m pretty sure a job in the BIG XII would be more appealing. Is there more to the story?

Brough (pronounced Brah, seriously) was not officially an assistant coach at Baylor. He was Dir. of Basketball Operations of some similar title and the second lowest on the totum poll behind Dwon Clifton. He’s now the head assistant at UMKC, so he’s much closer to landing a HCing position.
Baylor also had a complete overhaul this summer. Matt Driscoll left for some low D1 Florida school and Jerome Tang was offered an assistant position at Memphis but turned it down.

Wasn't Tang the guy who used to coach at a private high school in Cleveland, TX?

Yes. He was one of Drew’s first hires. He was supposed to bring in some big names, but it never happened. One kid (Woods) committed to Baylor, then de-committed and went to DePaul. He wasn’t very good. Chris Roquemore also committed; ended up at a Juco. Wasn’t very good either.
