per Marcus:
Here are some possible candidates with ties to Minnesota:
Dave Thorson, Colorado State – Thorson is a former Gophers assistant under Clem Haskins, a position which ended up giving him a chance to return to the college game 20 years later. Niko Medved, a former U manager under Haskins, hired Thorson last year to join him at Drake. The longtime championship coach at DeLaSalle then followed Medved to the Rams this spring.
Daryl Sharp, Hampton – Sharp has been at Hampton for eight seasons, going to three NCAA tournaments in that span, including in 2015 and 2016. The father of former Gophers walk-on and Hopkins guard Stephon Sharp. His high-major experience includes time as an Iowa State assistant and former director of basketball for Denny Crum at Louisville. Coached AAU and high school ball in Minnesota.
Kyle Green, Northern Iowa – Green, a Minneapolis native, is an associate head coach for Ben Jacobson at Northern Iowa. He’s spent 13 seasons on the Panthers coaching staff. A 1992 Hamline graduate, his son, A.J., is a four-star 2018 point guard recruit who signed to play with his father at UNI next season.
Richard Hurt, D1 Minnesota – Hurt is co-owner, coach and director of operations for D1 Minnesota, one of the top AAU programs in the country. He’s been an assistant at Rochester John Marshall for eight years. His oldest son, Michael, is a junior-to-be with the Gophers. His youngest son, Matthew, is a top-five recruit in the 2019 class and all-state forward at JM.
