After former Shocker Basketball Assistant Coach Kyle Lindsted accepted an assistant coaching position at Minnesota earlier this month, Head Coach Gregg Marshall went back to his roots to find a replacement.
Marshall announced the addition of Tyson Waterman to the coaching staff Sunday afternoon. Waterman was an all-conference point guard on Marshall’s first two Winthrop University teams in 1999 and 2000.
“Tyson was my first star player at Winthrop,” Marshall said. “He is a tremendous competitor who led us to two NCAA Tournaments in his final two years of eligibility.”
Waterman was named first-team All-Big South Conference twice and finished his career ranked fourth on the school’s career scoring chart (1,461 points) and third in assists (469).
