Twitter Reaction: New WVU Basketball Coaching Staff Earns High Praise

Once the WVU basketball program named Josh Eilert its interim head coach, fans and media started to wonder about the other coaches and how the rest of the coaching staff would look. Would it simply be what was most recently under Bob Huggins? Would there be changes? Would there be new additions?

West Virginia answered those questions by announcing Eilert’s staff on Sunday morning. The highlights include WVU basketball legend Da’Sean Butler returning as an assistant coach, DerMarr Johnson and Alex Ruoff staying on in their roles and Ron Everhart transitioning into a new position within the program.

How did fans and others around the country react to the news?

Easily best hoopin staff in America. https://t.co/RPBXs3ZqPa
