One of the articles I read today - think from Zags - said that T Mullin was out recruiting for us with Chris and Matt A. Means he has to be involved to some extent, right? Unless article was incorrect (and we know that never happens lol).
Not necessarily. He is "helping out." He has no official position on the staff currently and he may never have one when it is finalized. As long as you clear it with the NCAA Compliance non-recruiting coaches including administrative persons and even "temporary persons" can be "deputized" to recruit temporarily if the main positions still need to be filled. Usually those people are already administrative (non recruiting members) members of the staff such as the DOBO. However because Coach has not filled most positions including administrative there really isn't someone else so he asked his brother. But again that does not mean Terence will have any position in the future.
Further thanks. You all aim to educate - thanks fordham.
Also to be fair this does not just happen with openings, if a HC or a main assistant formerly takes himself out of commission for a period of time (perhaps vacation or injury) you can designate someone else.
For example Jim Boheim takes vacation during July recruiting. He designates his DOBO to be the 4th coach. He didn't resign he just will be with his family on vacation.
Fred Hoiberg will probably be sidelined for a few weeks after surgery, probably will designate his DOBO to go out on the road during his recovery.
