Interesting staff.  Impressive in many ways, but extremely green in terms of coaching experience.

Dan Matic has truly grinded to get to where he is today. This guy sounds like he has the hustle and attitude to succeed in NYC recruiting, much like his potential coworkers. Add Mitch to this staff, and this is one versatile, impressive staff of Brooklynites:

Dir. Of Basketball operations usually doesn't recruit. They do play a part as the main contact for a recruits official visit, but they don't spend time in gyms recruiting unless another member of the staff isn't on the road for whatever reason.

great to see the staff finalized - seems like there is a definite sense of work ethic and talent despite the lack of experience on the collegiate level, but with that they know what it takes to get a player to the league and at the very least to play overseas.

We are still in the "if" stage. Nothing is final.

Could be that next guy is an AAU guy and they want to give him the benefit of being with/recruiting his players during the summer. Recall Tiny Morton announcement coming pretty late.
You can't hire the AAU coaches of your recruits.

Sure you can.
No you can't!

Yes you can so long as it's as a head coach or assistant.  You just can't hire them as DOBOs or non-staff positions.

Tiny???
There are slightly different sets of rules for high school and AAU personnel.  Tiny was a high school coach and that was an illegal hire.  The rule clearly states that you cannot make the hire contingent on the commitment of the player.  Since we knew Tiny was going to be hired for the  Seton Hall staff right after IW's  commitment and eight months before the coaching vacancy was even posted, we know that the hire broke the rules.  It's just that there was no way to prove it unless the school was stupid enough to write the contingency into the contract.

When they posted the opening on the staff for assistant coach, listing job duties and all, it was just a sham.  We knew the previous Fall that Tiny was coming on.  That's why he retired from the NYC DOE before the opening was even posted.  And that's why he was seen wearing Seton Hall gear all over Brooklyn during the Winter.  Heck, Tiny was even quoted in the media as saying"I asked St. John's why they didn't have a spot on the staff for me".  He was clearly pedaling IW's commitment in exchange for a job.
