MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Kyle Ellis, who had recent stints on staffs at Wisconsin and Texas A&M, joins the Tigers track and field program as an assistant coach, University of Memphis head coach Kevin Robinson announced Friday. Ellis will coach the jumps and pole vault groups.
"He's a great fit," said Robinson. "Kyle has a lot of experience as a jumps coach. He has a similar philosophy to what I have and what (former) Coach Matt (Koelling) had before him. This should make the coaching transition much smoother for the athletes in those groups. He's a great guy with a strong work ethic.
