Longtime Rick Pitino lieutenant Ralph Willard will replace Wyking Jones on the Louisville staff, a source told SNY.tv.
Jones is leaving to join Cuonzo Martin’s staff at California, according to reports.
Willard, 69, served as an assistant under Pitino at Louisville, Kentucky and with the Knicks. He’s also been the head coach at several schools including Pittsburgh, Western Kentucky and Holy Cross.

63-82 at PITT otherwise he has been a successful coach and is very close to Pitino. By all reports the senior Willard is a very decent man...

Yes he coached at the long established St. Dominic's HS, (a "parish" HS with 450 students today), located in NY's Oyster Bay on LI...Willard is also a St. Dom's alum...

I know it would disappoint the uconn fan here, but what a laughable result it would be if Ollie screws to the Thunder...especially since he makes 3 mill annually. Well I can dream it for awhile at least. Regrettably I think in the end Ollie sticks it out with only 3 miil/yr bec uconn should get an invite to a real conference when the next shake-up arrives. zagsblog.com/articles/uconns-kevin-ollie-being-seriously-considered-for-okc-job/UConn’s Kevin Ollie Being ‘Seriously Considered’ for OKC Job April 20th, 2015 3:00 pm Kevin Ollie, who led the UConn Huskies to their fourth NCAA championship in 2014, is being “seriously considered” for the Oklahoma City head coaching job, a source close to the situation told SNY.tv. Ollie teamed with Thunder stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City and remains close with GM Sam Presti. Ollie is considered to be one of the keys to convincing Durant to remain in Oklahoma City after he enters free agency in 2016, the source said. Yahoo! Sports recently reported that Thunder head coach Scott Brooks will be evaluated before he is brought back for his guaranteed year in 2015-16. The Thunder hold a team option on Brooks for 2016-17, Yahoo! reported. The Thunder missed the playoffs this season for the first time in six years. In May 2014, Ollie agreed to a five-year contract extension at UConn worth $15 million. Prior to that, he had been linked to coaching jobs with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Ollie became the highest-paid coach in the American Athletic Conference, replacing SMU’s Larry Brown, who reportedly made $2.8 million.
