Vermont assistant Hamlet Tibbs has left the Vermont team to join new Albany coach Dwayne Killings' staff. It is a return home for Tibbs as he went to Troy high and has deep ties to the Albany area. Albany and Vermont were two of the handful of teams in college basketball who had kept the same staff together for the past 7 seasons and now each is dealing with change. It is a great opportunity for Tibbs and will help keep the rivalry going despite the departure of longtime coach Will Brown. Catamount country will always be eternally grateful to Tibbs for his Albany connection landing Anthony Lamb in a Vermont uniform. Mostly I am sad to lose on of the best names in college basketball. Best of luck to Tibbs who was a great representative of the program and an integral part of this incredible run of success. It will be interesting to see where Vermont turns for a replacement. They will definitely want to find someone with good recruiting connections that differ from Kyle Ceplicki's Midwest area and Ryan Schneider's Canadian connection.
