Michigan basketball's defensive coordinator appears to be moving on.

According to a report from Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports, assistant coach Luke Yaklich is headed to Texas, where he'll join the staff of Shaka Smart.

Yaklich had previously interviewed with Texas for an assistant coaching job, according to the Austin American-Statesman. He also interviewed for U-M's vacant head coaching job after former coach John Beilein's departure, although the job eventually went to Juwan Howard.
