Riley Decker Companies, a staffing and recruiting company and prominent University of Cincinnati athletics donor, has hired a pair of former Bearcat coaches to its organization in leadership roles. Both were part of UC athletics just this past season but had different reasons for departure.
Chris LePore, former Wes Miller chief of staff for UC men's basketball, stepped aside and will not be part of the new coaching team for the 2023-24 season for family reasons. Scott Googins was UC's head baseball coach for the past six seasons but resigned in late May after just one winning season, though he did return the Bearcats to the NCAA tournament in 2019.
