When Orlando Antigua and Chin Coleman came on board last month, Bruiser Flint shifted from an on-court assistant coaching position to associate to the head coach, a role previously occupied by Tony Barbee. Thanks to a new decision by the NCAA, Flint and other non-coaching staff members will still be allowed to help the team on the court this summer.
Today, the Division I Council Coordination Committee approved a waiver that will allow two non-coaching staff members to conduct instructional, on-court activities during the summer access period, which spans eight weeks. No more than four coaches and non-coaching staff members total can be on the court with the players at a time.
