SMU has hired Tyrone Maxey, the father of top-30 junior Tyrese Maxey, as its director of player development.
The story was first reported by SMU's Scout.com affiliate.
Tyrone Maxey has been a high school basketball coach in the Dallas area for more than a decade, including the past three years as an assistant coach at South Garland High School (Texas). Tyrese will be a junior at South Garland this season.
"I was kind of sad he was leaving my high school, but then I realized it wasn't about me," Tyrese told ESPN.
