KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee coach Rick Barnes has filled one of the openings on his staff by hiring Rod Clark as a new assistant. Barnes announced the hiring Monday after losing two assistants to head coaching jobs. Assistant Oliver Desmond was introduced Monday as the new coach at East Tennessee State, while Kim English was hired as the head coach at George Mason last month. “We weren’t the only high-major program who wanted him, but thankfully he wanted to be at Tennessee,“ Barnes said. He spent 2017-19 working at Sunrise Christian Academy in Kansas working as the top assistant coach overseeing player development, video breakdown and scouting at the prep basketball powerhouse.
