Seattle, WA (My Sportsbook) - Former UCLA star Cameron Dollar has been named the new men's head basketball coach at Seattle University, athletic director Bill Hogan announced Thursday. "Coach Dollar gives us everything we are looking for and more," said Hogan. "He is a proven winner. He has been on the national stage as both a coach and a player and has great contacts in the region, our core recruiting area." Dollar joins the Redhawks, who went 21-8 last season, after a seven-year stint as an assistant coach at the University of Washington. He is replacing Joe Callero, who left earlier this month to take the same position at Cal Poly. "Seattle University is an outstanding academic institution that is laying a strong foundation to return its basketball program to national prominence," said the 33-year-old Dollar. "It's a great challenge -- and an exciting opportunity." Dollar was a four-year letterman at UCLA (1994-97) and helped lead the team to a national championship in 1995. |
