Tennessee basketball’s coaching staff has had some shakeups this season with the Vols losing one assistant coach to another power five job while doing some internal shakeup on their staff to add two assistant coaches instead of one.
The first change to Tennessee’s coaching staff came when assistant coach Rod Clark left the Volunteer program after four seasons to become an assistant coach at Indiana. Barnes replaced Clark shortly after with Amorrow Morgan.
Morgan spent the last two years at Cal before joining Luke Loucks inaugural staff at Florida State earlier this offseason before coming to Tennessee. The Memphis native has a reputation of a relentless recruiter, helping Cal sign the No. 8 transfer portal class in 2023 and No. 12 transfer class in 2024. Morgan was a key part of Cal adding Jaylon Tyson, a first round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, and Jeremiah Wilkinson, a Georgia native who was the ACC Sixth Man of the Year a season ago.
So how did Tennessee make room for another assistant coach? Lucas Campbell is moving into a Director of Player Personnel/Recruiting Coordinator role. Campbell will continue to play a major role in Tennessee’s high school and transfer portal recruiting, particularly in talent evaluation.
Here’s a look at Barnes’ full staff, minus graduate assistants, for his 11th season as Tennessee’s head basketball coach.
