I'm obsessed with Ivan Thomas. In light of your avatar, it won’t cool the obsession any to know Ivan loves to play golf/says he’s about an 11…

Love the fact he’s bringing his whole staff. A group of guys who have scouted / recruited / game planned for this league together for several years.
I think it certainly reduces the heavy lift of getting us back to a competitive level sooner.

So Henton, Battle, and Blaney are listed in the directory as Assistant Coach-1, and Ivan Thomas is an Assistant Coach-2.
Interesting if Thomas is an Associate HC here or if one of the above 3 is something below a full-fledged assistant. Regardless, only 3 of the 4 can be out on the road for recruiting purposes, correct?

I'm sure its because Ronny is managing the twitter profile, and not because they wanted to wait for all of the assistants to be in place before an official announcement is made Aidan really needs a vacation.

It's so nice to be "mature" enough to have seen Brian Blaney's dad coach at the Cross.

Is it safe to assume that Ivan Thomas will have a good deal of local/AAU ties?

Is it safe to assume that Ivan Thomas will have a good deal of local/AAU ties? I would infer yes. From the PC announcement when he was first hired there. Thomas coached former Friar Josh Fortune and current Friar Rodney Bullock at Kecoughtan High School in Hampton Roads, Virginia. He resigned from that in early September, according to an article in the Daily Press. Prior to the lead job at Kecoughtan Thomas was the head coach at T.C. Williams High School where he led the 2007-08 team to a Virginia AAA state championship. Thomas also coached with the famed Virginia-based AAU program Boo Williams as an assistant on the 17U Nike EYBL teams. His career record as a high school coach is 205-71 with 127 of those wins coming at Kecoughtan. pcbb1917.com/2015/10/27/providence-adds-former-hs-coach-ivan-thomas-to-coaching-staff-former-big-east-commish-mike-tranghese-to-be-senior-advisor-for-basketball/

Any coaches with B-more, PG/DC, Northern VA connections?
Does Cooley have a track record of pulling recruits from these areas?
That will be the key.

Y’all don’t know what an incredible human being you have in Henton at Georgetown. He is a great, great person. Please treat him well
