UNC basketball adds former head coach to staff

Monday is becoming a busy day for Michael Malone and the North Carolina Tar Heels' basketball program. After landing a commitment from former Virginia Tech wing Neoklis Avdalas , they are now adding to their coaching staff. Per Inside Carolina , the Tar Heels have reached an agreement to hire Kim English as an assistant coach under Malone's staff.

It's the latest coaching staff addition after they also added Chuck Martin while retaining three former coaches for the staff. The 37-year-old English is a former head coach, spending time at George Mason and Providence. Most recently, he spent three seasons at Providence as the head coach, posting a 48-52 record overall and a 23-37 record in Big East Play.

He was fired on March 13 following a season-ending loss in the Big East Tournament. With the addition of English, North Carolina's staff includes Martin, Sean May, Pat Sullivan and Eric Hoots as of right now. There could be another addition coming as Malone is rounding out the staff.
