Both Mississippi State basketball teams got a boost on Tuesday.
It was announced that David Deets was hired as the new Director of Basketball Performance for both the men’s and women’s teams.
He takes over for Richard Akins, who retired earlier this month after 33 years with the Bulldogs.
“I’m excited to be back in the SEC and at a school like Mississippi State with the tradition they have in basketball,” Deets said in a school release. “Being able to join Coach (Ben) Howland and his staff, who have a great record of success, is very exciting.
