I can see Antigua going after good named assistants or some up and coming ones since he has $700 thousand to use. We'll probably know more in about 2-3 weeks on how is staying and how is going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article mentions, "Though he cautioned he would not shift focus to building a staff until after the Final Four, Antigua said he would consider bringing some personnel from the UK athletic department with him to Florida. He is also interested in establishing some sort of head-to-head series vs. Kentucky on the court as well."

Seton Hall assistant coach, Oliver Antigua (the middle of the three siblings), said that coaching alongside his older brother at USF isn’t too far fetched. “It’s a possibility,†Oliver said. “We are discussing it. Nothing definite.†http://www.usforacle.com/antiguas-may-unite-at-usf-1.2863056?utm_content=buffer894c2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer#.Uz8_YMTD_IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antigua resigned as Ravens head coach Monday to accept a position as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Manhattan College under head man Steve Masiello. It ends Antigua’s successful 10-year reign as head coach at St. Ray’s, where he won three CHSAA Class A city titles, and 13 seasons altogether on the bench at the Bronx Catholic school. “We are very excited about the addition of one of New York City’s most successful coaches who brings a great wealth of knowledge about the metropolitan area,†Masiello said. “Oliver will help enhance our brand in New York City and take Manhattan College basketball to the next level. He is a high character person with great integrity.†------------ Older brother Orlando Antigua’s college career motivated Antigua to take the plunge. Orlando Antigua is John Calipari’s top assistant at Kentucky, is considered one of the nation’s top recruiters and won a national title this past April. While some have made the assumption that the two, who are very close, are planning to coach together at the college level in the future, Antigua said it’s not something they have spoken about. “We talk hoops all the time,†he said. “We talk about his team. We talk about my team. I can see why that’s a natural progression.†Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
