Tom Crean is interested in Jonas Hayes as a potential assistant on his staff.
The newly-hired Georgia men's basketball coach said that while he has contacted Hayes, the two have yet to meet in person yet. That should change shortly as Hayes was present for Crean's introductory news conference, which lasted a little less than an hour Friday afternoon.
"I’ve spoken with him. I haven’t met him yet, but I’ve spoken with him," Crean said. "I know who he is but we did speak (Thursday) night. He’s definitely someone I want to get to know. There’s absolutely no doubt about that.
