Tennessee basketball: Vols keep key assistant, lose another

The transition surrounding the Tennessee basketball program is not over yet. Even after retaining Rick Barnes and hiring Kim English to replace key assistant Rob Lanier, who took the head coaching job of the Georgia State Panthers, things keep moving around.

More news came in this week for the Vols regarding the program, one signaling more stability and another showing more transition. The stability was the bigger key, though, as it involved another top assistant.

Desmond Oliver, who was another one of the three assistant coaches on last year’s team, was a candidate for the Kennesaw State job.
