Their names had been known for weeks but new Colorado men’s basketball coach Tad Boyle officially announced his assistant coaches Tuesday, with Tom Abatemarco, who was retained from Jeff Bzdelik’s staff, being joined by Jean Prioleau and Mike Rohn.
Prioleau, who recently completed his second year on the staff at Texas Christian, and Rohn, formerly director of operations at Texas A&M, both previously served with Boyle on Wichita State under current Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon.
“Basically, three of the four coaches that were at Wichita State are back together,” Prioleau said in a CU news release. “Colorado’s a great place to recruit, and I’m glad to be part of it.”
Said Boyle of the trio: “(Abatemarco) is a tireless recruiter, and that’s something we’re going to need. … (Prioleau) is not only a good recruiter, a good basketball coach, he has a great basketball mind. … (Rohn is) the ultimate grinder, loves to work.”
Boyle said he will name a director of operations at a later date.
