New NDSU men’s hoops coach adds assistant

FARGO, N.D. (AP) - New North Dakota State University head men’s basketball coach David Richman has added an assistant.

Jayden Olson has been director of basketball operations the past two seasons under Nebraska head coach Tim Miles, a former NDSU head coach. Olson also spent two seasons with Miles at Colorado State, as director of basketball operations and video coordinator.

Olson also is a former assistant coach at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D. He played his college ball for Williston State and Dickinson State in North Dakota.

Richman is taking over at NDSU for Saul Phillips, who left for Ohio after leading the Bison to the NCAA Tournament. He says current NDSU assistant coach Freddy Coleman and director of basketball operations Josh Vaughan will remain in their current roles for the Bison.
