Prior to Courtney’s time at Cornell (60-113 in six seasons with the Big Red), he worked on Leitao’s staff at Virginia.
This is Courtney’s second stint as a Big East assistant coach, as he served on Tim Welch’s staff at Providence from 2005-06.
There is no word yet if Courtney will be the associate head coach, or just an assistant coach.
