On Monday it was reported (though not officially yet announced by VT) that Virginia Tech Assistant Coach Rob Ehsan and Director of Basketball Operations Jeff Wulbrun were leaving the ‘Burg for Birmingham, to join uab’s new head coach.
This means Tech will have their fourth Director of Basketball Operations in as many years (Autry served in this position for two years before becoming an assistant, then Wolff and Wulbrun for one year each, and TBD next year).
Plus, this is the fifth assistant to leave in four years (Palmore – ’09, Courtney and Odom – ’10, Autry – ’11, and Ehsan – ’12).
It should be noted that Courtney, Wolff, Wulbrun, and Ehsan all only spent one year at VT before bolting.
Here are the articles on it:
We’ll see if this is the last of the coaching changes for 2012.
