After being with the program from 2010-13, Brock Morris has found his way back to the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns as an assistant coach. Head Coach Bob Marlin announced the addition on Tuesday.
The hiring is subject to approval from the Board of Supervisors.
“We are excited to have Brock and his family rejoin our program. Marlin said in a statement released by the university. “He is an outstanding young coach, a tireless recruiter and his familiarity with both our program as well as the Sun Belt Conference will pay immediate dividends. His leadership and ability to relate to our players will prepare them for success both on the court and in the classroom.”
Morris spent last season as the head coach at Daytona State and guided the Falcons to a 25-6 record and a Mid-Florida Conference Tournament Championship.
“We are grateful to (University President) Dr. (Joesph) Savoie, (Director of Athletics) Dr. (Bryan) Maggard, and Coach Marlin for the opportunity to rejoin the Louisiana family. Since we left Lafayette six seasons ago, the Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball brand has grown leaps and bounds.” Morris said. “We have been impressed with the investment into the Men’s Basketball program, and athletic department entirely. My wife, Amanda, and I could not think of a better place to raise our son than Lafayette.”
