Michigan coach Juwan Howard is bringing back a few familiar faces to round out his staff — and even one of his former coaches.
The program announced on Monday that Jay Smith, who spent seven seasons in Ann Arbor as an assistant on Steve Fisher’s staff, has been hired as the team’s director of player personnel and development.
"There are many people who have helped me throughout my career; however, Jay Smith is someone special who I have a deep connection with and the utmost respect for," Howard said in a statement.
