(San Francisco) – USF head men's basketball coach Rex Walters has added former Kansas standout Michael Lee as an assistant coach. Lee spent the last two seasons as an assistant at Gardner-Webb after spending the 2007-08 campaign as the graduate student manager at Kansas.
"Michael Lee will be a great addition to the staff," Walters said. "Coach Lee is someone I have known for a long time from our time at Kansas and I have continued to follow him as a professional player and then as an assistant coach at Gardner-Webb. Coach Lee adds instant credibility with our student-athletes in terms of player development and from the team success that he experienced at Kansas. We are excited that Michael decided to join us at USF and I am confident he will do a great job recruiting, coaching and working in the community."
"It is a privilege to work under Coach Walters," Lee said. "He is truly a competitor as am I and this decision was a no-brainer for me. I'm honored to be at USF."
After concluding his playing career in Lawrence, Lee played professional basketball from 2005-07, including stints with the Harlem Globetrotters, Entente Orleans in Orleans, France, the IBL's Vancouver Volcanoes and the USBL's Kansas Cagerz in Salina, Kansas.
