great coaching staff to go along with a determined group of players.

Welcome back Grant!!

all things considered he was a good hire. Wish him the best. I think many misjudge what him brings to the table. Let's support a alum coming back home

Even if it is for one season. BTW, I think Grant is a fine alum and wish him the best now & in the future.

The most positive aspect of Grant returning to Seton Hall is that, as a big man, he gives the coaching staff a more balanced perspective of the game. I assume he will focus on working with the bigs.

He played for three seasons under big-man Louis Orr, and one under Bobby Gonzalez. It's been about seven years since he graduated so he's done some living and working in the game.

While he has only one year of bench coaching experience, he brings other experiences to the table.

Good luck, Grant.

I know his hiring came late, but to me Billmeier's addition to the coaching staff means we had to have a warm body in place.

While I can't speak to Billemeier's acumen in teaching bigs or the functionality of the new staff, I can say we have all 3 NCAA Tournament bids post-Carlesimo represented with this group!
