Keith Booth added to Loyola women's staff

Booth, who spent seven seasons on Gary Williams' staff, was hired Monday as an assistant for the Loyola women's basketball team.

"We are ecstatic to have Keith Booth join our Loyola women's basketball program and excited that he is able to return home to Baltimore to continue his coaching career," Loyola coach Joe Logan said in a news release. "Keith brings with him a unique perspective, which I am looking forward to and I know our whole program will benefit from."

With the Greyhounds' hiring of Booth -- a Dunbar legend who helped the Terps to four NCAA tournaments as a player -- all three assistants on Williams' last Maryland staff have found work. Bino Ranson was retained by Maryland coach Mark Turgeon, and Rob Ehsan was hired by Seth Greenberg at Virginia Tech.

"Keith's accomplishments speak for themselves," Logan said. "He has won at every level and we are looking forward to him developing our players into winners both on and off the court."

Wow! The best job Booth could get was with the Loyola women's team? Was he that bad that no D1 men's team would not hire him?

bigcruise: I believe that an NBA assistant job was the goal, but with the lockout, that wasn't a possibility at the moment. -- Matt
