Cincinnati Bearcats head coach Wes Miller is adding Georgia Bulldogs assistant coach Chad Dollar to UC's coaching staff, according to a report Tuesday from ajc.com's Chip Towers.
Over the past several days, UC has named Chris LePore, Andre Morgan and Mike Roberts as Miller's assistant coaches. All three worked with Miller at UNC Greensboro.
More from Towers:
An Atlanta native and SEC coaching veteran, Dollar is credited for helping Georgia coach Tom Crean penetrate the complicated Atlanta AAU circuit for top recruits, including 2020 No. 1 NBA Draft pick Anthony Edwards.
The Dollars are known as one of the first families of Atlanta basketball. Dollar’s father, longtime Douglass High coach Don Dollar, was one of the pioneers of the AAU basketball movement in the city. Chad’s brother, Cameron, was a top prospect who won a national championship at UCLA in 1995 and is now an NBA assistant coach.
Chad Dollar, 49, worked at Auburn and LSU before coming to Georgia to join Crean’s staff three years ago. His loss means the Bulldogs no longer have a coach on staff with state ties. Look for that to be a priority as Crean seeks a replacement.
Dollar was named an assistant coach for the Bulldogs in April 2018.
UC parted ways with John Brannen - the Bearcats' head coach the past two seasons - earlier this month, hiring Miller to replace him. Miller agreed to a six-year, $7.875 million deal.
