English Announces Coaching Staff Addition
PC also announced the hiring of Nate Tomlinson as an assistant coach on his staff. Tomlinson worked under English for the last two years as assistant coach at George Mason. He becomes the second member of his staff as Dennis Felton was also announced as an assistant coach.
These are the first hires announced by English, who was named as the Friars' head coach on March 23. English spent the last two years as the head coach at George Mason University.
Tomlinson worked with English at Colorado prior to joining his staff at George Mason.
Tomlinson was a four-year letter-winner for Colorado from 2008-12, averaging 5.2 points, 3.1 assists and just under one steal in 129 career games. He helped the Buffaloes claim the inaugural Pac-12 Tournament title in 2012, leading to the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance in nine years. Colorado made a pair of postseason appearances during Tomlinson's playing career. The Buffaloes set a school record with 24 wins in 2010-11, culminating with a semifinal appearance in the 2011 NIT. Tomlinson was a part of 74 wins as a Buffalo, which at the time was the best in school history. He is tied for sixth on the all-time CU assists list (406) and also holds that position in career games played (129) and started (111).
