Head coach Eric Reveno
"As a graduate assistant at Stanford, Michael made it clear to everyone that he had a bright future in college basketball," Reveno said. "Since that time, his experiences in grass roots basketball both in Los Angles and across the country have only increased his value as a college assistant. We will take full advantage of his tremendous organizational skills, but will benefit also from his strategic input and on-court teaching."
