CHICAGO (April 12, 2024) – UIC head men's basketball coach Rob Ehsan has selected Kevin Devitt to serve as the Flames' associate head coach and Johnny Hill to be an assistant coach for UIC, it was announced Friday. Devitt and Hill are the first members of Ehsan's staff for the 2024-25 season, with further staff members to be named in the coming days.
"Kevin is one of the true rising stars in the coaching profession and is coming off a terrific run as the associate head coach at Niagara," Ehsan said. "He has a wide range of experience and success in recruiting, player development and game strategy, all skills I was able to see first-hand on our staff at UAB. Kevin also has deep ties to Chicago at the high school, AAU and college levels, all of which will be incredibly valuable as we build a championship program here at UIC.
"Johnny is another Chicagoland native who has played a key role in building NCAA Tournament teams as a player at Purdue and then as an assistant coach at Montana State and Utah State," Ehsan added. "He knows what it takes to be successful at the highest levels of our sport, whether that be in recruiting, scouting or developing our young men on and off the court. We couldn't be more excited to welcome both Kevin and Johnny to our Flames Family!"
