Justin Mazzulla & Andrew Chrabascz hired as grad assistants (official)

[Billyboy78]

I'm surprised nobody is reporting this. Looks like he's been hired as a grad assistant.

Thanks for starting this, 78.

I really like the move. Local ties, good RI story, good blood lines. Sounds like a potential win/win for Justin and Rhody.

I think it's as simple as it hasn't been reported on gorhody, he's not shown on the roster page, and a google search doesn't bring up anything about it. Good info though

Love this move and love our entire staff

I've modified the thread title, and will change it once URI issues a proper release, or we see it reported in the media.

I thought Andrew Chrabascz from Portsmouth got hired as a grad assistant....are they hiring two?

I haven't heard that. I thought he was still playing overseas.

Just saw that brother Joe is interviewing for the Utah Jazz job.

Wow! Good for Joe. Must be the Danny Ainge connection?

Could be

I heard Andrew Chrabascz as well several days ago from a reliable source.

[RhowdyRam02]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the rules on this, are we limited to one grad assistant or could both rumors be true?

They can have more than one. It’s a great use of resources to bring in guys who want to get started working in basketball and who are usually really good mentors for the current players.

[Iggy1979]

I thought there was 1 paid staff position open. I didn't think it was a grad assistant who gets to pursue an advanced degree for free. I could be wrong about this.

[RhowdyRam02]

Yes, there should still be one paid staff assistant position open. That's what people were terming the player development position. The grad position(s) would be different

[Billyboy78]

Now official , along with Andrew Chrabascz.

I like the additions by Archie for a few reasons: I like the local flavor it adds to the staff and program; it adds some skill for our players to work with and practice against.

It’s a win/win, I believe and the local kids get to come back home and get started on their careers in basketball, if that is the road they take. A great grad education, too.
