He is bringing his assistants from Presbyterian. It remains to be seen if they will be on the bench with him.

Allison was at the WBB game. Wonder if he's in negotiations with Kerns

I read the bios of his Presbyterian assistants, they have connections in Georgia and Florida as well as AAU that should be of help in recruiting. Plus they are young.
I do hope there is a way to retain Allison if he wants to stay.

Keeping Allison is an
absolute must if we want to keep attrition to a minimum! And there's a way to take the three Presby guys and still have a bench seat for Allison.

Not questioning their ability but they have very little experience. That's why for me it would be important to include Allison on the staff.

Even if they are not hired in assistant roles, but support staff...they still will be on the bench.

FWIW, Allison is now listed as the only assistant coach on the appstatesports basketball page. All others have been removed. I'm not sure if it's a sign that he's staying, but it's interesting.

It should be. He was listed as ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH on March 28 and his updated title is ASSISTANT COACH.
They would not have changed it if he wasn't.

I agree and take comfort in that.

Where has his title changed? On the school website i see, he is still listed as associate head coach under Kerns.

from hoopdirt today...
It sounds like new Appalachian State head coach Dustin Kerns will retain current Mountaineers associate head coach Jason Allison. The former VMI assistant has been on the App State bench for the past five seasons.

Because we enjoy speculating about speculation. It’s what happens on these forums.

I don't know Allison but really glad to hear he is returning. We needed a shakeup but I believe he does a great job in recruiting and will one day be someone we just pray does not jump to a bigger program.

He has a place if he wants it. My assumption is that he does. I do not know that however. In any event ,half of the equation is established.

Assistant staff is finalized.
Alison staying on as special assistant to the HC. Don’t know that means for his involvement with the team and recruiting, but at least he is sticking around for a while.
