MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia announced several basketball staff changes Monday, all linked to the June retirement of Billy Hahn.
Jay Kuntz, formerly coordinator of player development, was promoted to Hahn’s former role. Kuntz has spent nine years on Bob Huggins’ staff, ranging from student manager to graduate assistant.
Josh Eilert, formerly WVU’s coordinator of basketball operations, will serve as director of basketball operations. Eilert has been integral in video scouting and stepped in as a bench assistant last season when Ron Everhart was recovering from back surgery.
Eilert got his start in coaching when Huggins hired him as a graduate assistant at Kansas State in 2006.
