There are lots of assistant coaches on the bench this prep boys basketball season with quite accomplished on-court resumes themselves
Let's take a look at a few:
Burney's All-Assistant Coach Team
My Starters
Lindsey Hunter (Southfield Christian) – Former NBA First Round draft pick and 13-year league vet....oh, yeah, 2-time WORLD CHAMP as well!!
Clennie Brundidge (Southfield) – Played for Coach K at Army in the 1970s as a hard-nosed 2-guard
Jimmy King (OL St. Mary's) – FAB FIVE…enough said!!!!
Mychel Covington/Nucleus Smith (Pontiac) – Covington, the former wing defensive specialist who is doing Coach Kampe and the Oakland Grizz proud on the bench as head coach-in-training for the Phoenix and Smith, who took Pontiac Northern on his back into a Class A Final Four as a senior 11 years ago, give me that 'Yacktown toughness
Paris McCurdy (Southfield) – All-Conference big fella in the MAC at Ball State back in the late 80s and early 90s…Took Cardinals into the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1990 before losing a two-point heartbreaker to eventual National Champ, UNLV.
My Bench
Brandon Edwards (Southfield-Lathrup) – Edwards was fairly good as a college baller at Fairleigh Dickinson a decade or so ago after starring as a Charger in the late 90s.
Todd Negoshian (North Farmington) – This gritty little sparkplug of a point guard led Oakland County in scoring as a senior at Walled Lake Central in 1998.
Herb Goliday (Ferndale) – Could really fill'em up as an Eagles all-stater back in the day
Jason Webber (Birmingham DCD) – Would give me solid "grunt minutes" off the pine in the post…you can't replicate the kind of state championship experience ('95 'Jackets title) a guy like Webber would bring into the fold
