I didn't see a thread for it and many have will Ill towards the guys but they're still Hoyas.

To start it off, apparently JTIII is doing interesting stuff with his money while staying in "athletics'

It seems like a decent move and who hasn't played bags (Cornhole). Hopefully he sponsors a team eventually (small teams) and advocates for minorities in yet another privileged sport.

I hope we can make this a thread for the moves that assistants and anyone involved with the program (outside of players) do with their life after the hilltop.

I think this is the kind of thing you're going for... as of this spring, former Hoyas DBO Matt Henry is an assistant at Utah State:

Kenya Hunter is now an assistant at Indiana...not a bad gig at all...

Sydney Johnson just stepped down from his associate head coach gig at the Air Force Academy days ago, which is...worrisome I guess is the word? Hope he and his family are OK, setting aside all the basketball drama he has experienced...

Sydney Johnson Steps Down From Air Force Basketball

Story Links
USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Sydney Johnson is stepping down from Associate Head Coach duties with Air Force Men's Basketball, announced today by head coach Joe Scott.

Johnson will return to Connecticut to be closer to his family. Prior to his stint with Air Force in 2020-21, Johnson was the head coach at Fairfield University, located in Fairfield, Conn., for eight seasons, from 2011-2019.

Johnson and Scott share close ties from their time as players and coaches at their alma mater of Princeton.

"Losing Sydney is a big loss for Air Force Basketball, but I also understand that family comes first," Scott said. "We share an inseparable bond going back several decades to our days together at Princeton that goes way beyond the court. His experience and basketball knowledge greatly benefitted our players last year and helped in laying the foundation going forward. I wish Sydney nothing but the best in his next chapter and he will be greatly missed at the Academy and by me personally."
