The recent reports emerging that head Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart is interviewing and interested in the Michigan Wolverines assistant coach Luke Yaklich come as little surprise. Smart did already lose one assistant to the coaching carousel, so naturally he needs a replacement.
Michigan surprisingly lost its head coach, John Beilien, to the Cleveland Cavaliers who signed him to a five year deal earlier this week. According to a report from Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman and hookem.com, the Texas basketball program is currently going through an interview process for Luke Yaklich following John Beilein’s recently announced contract with the Cavs.
