AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn has hired former Arkansas-Little Rock head basketball coach Wes Flanigan as an assistant.

Tigers coach Bruce Pearl announced the hiring of the ex-Auburn point guard Monday.

Flanigan was a four-year starter at Auburn from 1993-97 and led the Southeastern Conference in assists as a junior.

He was fired from Arkansas-Little Rock in March after two seasons after a 7-25 season that set a program record for losses in a season.

Flanigan was an assistant under Chris Beard for the 2015-16 team that went 30-5 and won its first outright Sun Belt Conference title.
