Strickland played college basketball at DePaul University, where he was awarded All-American honors. He then enjoyed a long career in the NBA, playing from 1988 to 2005. He currently serves in an administrative role for the University of Kentucky basketball team under head coach John Calipari. Strickland was formerly the director of basketball operations at the University of Memphis under Calipari. A native of the Bronx, Strickland played for the New York Gauchos. While a junior he led Truman High School in Co-Op City to the state championship and was ranked as one of the top 10 high school recruits in the nation. As a senior he transferred to Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. Looks like Strickland will be moving up in his coaching role and will get to go on the road and recruit. Don't see why he would keep the same role and leave UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hardaway was always number one for me growing up. This is awesome news. I am liking this hire more and more everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldsmobull Posted April 6, 2014 Group: Member Topic Count: 19 Content Count: 791 Reputation: 44 Days Won: 3 Joined: 09/02/2009 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Forget whether or not he has degree...does he have a valid drivers license? Looks like Strickland already has 4 DUIs...fittingly, next DUI will be a 'fifth'. With USF's history of athletes having problems, and getting arrests, for driving without valid licenses..maybe USF athletic dept should have an associate AD for drivers license operations. Do you need a license now to drive a moped in Florida? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
