Well Guy said it would be a interesting offseason. Don't know anything about the assistant coach. Shamar Givance is a 5'10" grad transfer PG. averaged 13.7 ppg and 3.9 apg, but also 2.7 turnovers. Shooting stats not really impressive, but did have 44 steals So I guess this confirms Pitino is returning, but now the speculation on might be leaving the staff. Based on what I saw on the bench this year, I have a strong opinion who it might be Sounds like just the type of player '70 is looking for!

Keep in mind he was the best player on a bad Evansville team, so he was the focal point of MVC defenses. Pretty sure he didnt have a Nelly and a Clayton on the floor with him for the Aces.

Nobody defended him on the FT line. Well it is possible that opponents had a "JB" hitting him with the "Horns" when he was shooting.

Potential with Givance and I can understand the reasoning to contact him.
From an analytics point, he only scored 24% of his points from 3's. Another quarter from the foul line. This indicates that he's not as much of a player from the outside. I watched some of his videos on twitter and from what I can tell, he is a scrappy physical guard. Taking into account what Guy said about the lack of help on his team, he would clearly benefit from Nelly and Clayton.
Fouls per game equate to 2.2 and 2.78 turnovers per game. Joiner only turned the ball over a game 1.8 and Clayton 1.1.

If RP wants him, he must see something that Rick feels that he can improve upon with proper coaching.

Did a little more research on Givance. His shooting stats went down a bit this year, but he did shoot 36% from three 2 years ago when he made 2nd team ALL-MVC, which is pretty impressive. Career A/TO ratio of 364/223 and 83 steals the last 2 seasons. FWIW, received this random tweet from a person connected to Evansville.

From the UE Website:
LOGAN BAUMANN:
Logan Baumann was elevated to Associate Head Men's Basketball Coach in June of 2021. Baumann served two years as an Assistant Basketball Coach at UE after spending the 2018-19 season as the Purple Aces Associate Athletic Director for Basketball Operations. “It is a pleasure to offer Logan the title of Associate Head Coach as it more clearly reflects his role within our program. Logan is a selfless teammate who positively impacts all aspects of our program,” Lickliter said. “In addition, due to the influence of two highly successful mentors in Rick Pitino and Trent Johnson, he is experienced beyond his years. Our players and program are benefitted beyond measure with the knowledge he has acquired and shares through those relationships.”
Baumann's work was pivotal in the program enjoying a top five finish in the Missouri Valley Conference in the 2020-21 season. The program had one of the top turnarounds in MVC history while improving its league win tally by seven games from 2020. Shamar Givance earned 2nd Team All-MVC accolades while Jawaun Newton's improvement was equally impressive. In his first season as an assistant, Baumann helped UE defeat top-ranked Kentucky in Rupp Arena. Before joining the Aces in April of 2018, UE, Baumann served on staff at the University of Louisville for three seasons, most recently as the Senior Director of Video Operations. He began his coaching career as the Assistant Video Coordinator with the Cardinals. Baumann has experience competing and coaching in the Big East, American Athletic Conference, Atlantic Coast Conference, and most currently, in the Missouri Valley.
During the Cardinals’ 2013 NCAA Championship season, Baumann transitioned from a student-manager to a walk on. He earned his bachelor’s degree, Summa Cum Laude, in economics from UofL and most recently completed his master’s degree from Western Kentucky University in 2019. Baumann is a native of Kentucky, most specifically Hartford. As a Senior he led Ohio County to a 29-3 record, a 10th district championship, and a No.9 ranking in the state of Kentucky. Baumann eclipsed over 1,000 points and was named as the 2012 Third Region Player of the Year while furthermore receiving valedictorian honors. Logan and his wife, Paige, married in May 2017.

Former Iona recruit, 6'7" SF Khalid Moore, has entered the portal, leaving GT. A Molloy kid, he was a 4★ recruit (ESPN) in high school with offers from Louisville, UMASS, OSU, PITT, Syracuse, SJU, Seton Hall, VCU etc... An elite defender who was used as a defense role player at GT. Averaged 5.2 ppg and 3.4 rpg. Has a 7' wingspan.
I hope we are back on him. Pitino offered him early in his sophomore year at Molloy, so he is familiar with him.
