Former Drake men's basketball coach Jeff Rutter has landed at Miami University (Ohio) as an assistant, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
Rutter served as the Bulldogs' interim coach after Ray Giacoletti resigned back in December. Drake was 1-7 when Rutter assumed the post. He then guided the Bulldogs to a 6-17 mark, including 10-straight losses to end the season.

Rutter, 52, was considered a finalist for the Drake head coaching position after the season but was ultimately passed over in favor of Niko Medved, who came from Furman.
