Raphael Chillious, formerly the head coach at South Kent Preparatory School in Connecticut, has been hired by the University of Washington as the school’s newest men’s basketball assistant coach.

Chillious also has numerous recruiting ties around the nation, and will serve in similar capacity to Dollar, leading the staff in recruiting and working with the guards. Chillious previously coached current Huskies Isaiah Thomas and Matthew Bryan-Amaning when they played at South Kent.

Expect a veteran like Hudson to keep making good on the strikes thrown his way and go pick him up if you still have the chance.
