I was excited and thought these were the final assistant HC and Dobo.

This is another thing that highlights the depths of K-State basketball and lack of fan interest caused by it.  On both other boards we have the "what's wrong with Rod Cole" posts.  Cole has not directly done basketball ever.  His assistants have.  I remember in the early days of Wooly Marcus Kinney had the guys pulling a jeep around the parking lot by Bramlage during the summer.  Talked to him several times before games when I sat down there he was a good guy.  Also worked with other sports.  Greenawalt will do the same, just as he worked with sports like baskeball and volleyball while assisting with football at Cinci as an assistant strength coach.  Its not like Huggins is hiring some renegade strength coach on his own here.  Greenawalts boss will be Cole, but Huggins will have input into the type of workouts he wants through him.  I would guess one of the other assistant strength coaches is leaving and Huggins probably had some input and said hire Greenawalt.

Hmmmm.  Looks like the S&C position might be basketball only.

hello boys..some of the old timers may remember me...I didn't know this site is where all the good ones went to!  Allow me to add my knowledge to the post.  Coach Greenwalt is a Huggs guy for the men's basketball team.  Now from an administrative standpoint, he may be with Cole but he will focus primarily on the mens bball team.  Good guy by the way.

Rod Cole is the Strength coach for KSU Football, primarily, and works with the other sports as needed.

This is a great thing for KSU because Cole has been stretched too thin, IMO, and needs to focus on the Football athletes.  I think it's a great move by Huggins, and I believe that everyone benefits from it.
