Flanigan completes first coaching staff

Wes Flanigan's staff is set.

The newly hired UALR men's basketball coach has hired Mitch Cole to fill out his three-person coaching staff, Flanigan told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Tuesday.

Cole comes to UALR after spending the past five seasons as a special assistant at Texas A&M. At UALR, Cole will join already announced assistants Kwanza Johnson and Solomon Bozeman.

"We've been fortunate because this job is a little bit better of a job one year after Chris Beard leaves," Flanigan said. "I've got a really good salary pool for our league, and I was able to track down some really good guys.
