It might not have been on the recruiting trails, but Northwestern basketball made a splash on Tuesday. The Wildcats added former Indiana Hoosiers standout A.J. Guyton to its staff as a Director of Player Development. Guyton broke the news himself.
Guyton comes to Northwestern after spending last season as an assistant coach for the Windy City Bulls of the now-NBA G League. His coaching career began in 2010 as an assistant at Illinois Central College, and then from 2012-2014, he coached at Peoria High School, his alma mater.
Before that, Guyton excelled at Indiana. He was a four-year starter (1996-00) for the Hoosiers and was voted the Big Ten Player of the Year by the media as a senior.
