AUSTIN, Texas - Ken McDonald, an assistant coach at Georgia this past season, and a Dennis Felton colleague the past 10 years, has been named to a similar post at The University of Texas, head coach Rick Barnes announced Monday evening.
The 34-year-old McDonald, a former assistant to Barnes for four years at Clemson who worked on coach Dennis Felton's staff at Georgia last season, will begin his post at Texas immediately. McDonald assumes the position vacated by Frank Haith, who left the Texas coaching staff on April 12 to take the head coaching position at Miami (Fla.).
During his one season at Georgia, the Bulldogs posted a 16-14 record (7-9 SEC, 5th East) and advanced to the NIT First Round. Despite playing with only seven scholarship players, Georgia posted a regular-season sweep of Kentucky, the top overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, and registered an 83-80 double-overtime victory against NCAA runner-up Georgia Tech.
