Brian Gregory adds two new assistants, restructures South Florida staff

TAMPA, Fla. (JUL. 8, 2021) -- South Florida head coach Brian Gregory on Thursday officially announced his hiring of assistant coaches Louis Rowe and Jason Slay egory as well as new Strength and Conditioning Coach David Land. Gregory also announced the new role that assistant coach Scott Wagers will be taking on the USF coaching staff.

Via a USF press release:

“I am excited about the new structure of our staff and the energy our new members will bring to our program,” Gregory said. “The landscape of college basketball has dramatically changed and I believe that building an over-all staff that could adapt and thrive in this new environment was one of our main off-season objectives.  Having a veteran coach and recruiter like Scott Wagers oversee and direct our game plan preparation, self-scout analytics, and recruiting efforts will have such a positive impact on those critical operations.  Billy Hubly’s knowledge of our program and technical skills will keep our program and players on the cutting edge regarding social media and NIL protocol.”
