A USU replacement for assistant James Ware?

The best Utah State site and message board has some chatter about a new assistant coach coming aboard by the name of Tarvish Felton. He replaces James Ware who moved on to Kerry Keating's staff at Santa Clara.

Felton was at Sacramento State last season before the head coach and his assistants were let go there.

Here is his official bio from the Sac State site:

"Tarvish Felton, who spent the 2006-07 season as an assistant at Southern Utah and has seven years of coaching experience, will begin his fi rst year as an assistant at Sacramento State for the 2007-08 season.

A three-year starter at small forward for Southern Utah (1996-99) during his playing days, Felton also coached for Texas A&M International (head coach from 2003-06), Cal State LA (assistant from 2000-02) and one year as a student assistant at Southern Utah (1999-00).

He spent the 2002-03 academic year putting the TAMIU team together, as the program took the fl oor for the fi rst time ever in 2003-04. Combined, Felton has helped coach 10 different players to all-conference accolades.

Last season at Southern Utah, Felton helped coach the Thunderbirds to a 16-14 overall record while working with the team’s big men. He was involved in recruiting, and was also in charge of the team’s academics and camps.

A 1999 graduate of Southern Utah with a bachelor’s degree in physical education, Felton was a two-time IHC Health Plans state player of the year during both his junior and senior seasons (1997-99). Also during his senior season, he received all-Mid-Continent Conference honors and was named Southern Utah’s academic athlete of the year for basketball.

A native of Perry, Ga., Felton is listed several times in Southern Utah’s career record books, ranking third in career blocked shots, fi fth in steals and seventh in rebounds. Prior to Southern Utah, Felton spent his freshman year playing at Northeast College in Norfolk, Neb."

Too many bloggers think their you know what does not stink and are not willing to recognize other people. So thank you Kevin and keep up the awesome work.

02/25/2009: Nevada paper rates WAC players: "Once again I must give credit where it is due – I pulled these articles off of Parsing the WAC,...an almost daily updated blog run by Kevin McCarthy. It is the authority on all things WAC men’s basketball. If there is a feature or game story put out about one of the schools in the league he will have a link to it (and a corresponding editorial comment). It is one of the first places I go on the Internet each day. We are very lucky to have a fan in this a midmajor league willing to put the time and energy in bring all this great information to all of us. Thanks Kevin."

Chris Murrey snatched up your Hanson scoop without so much as a hat tip, but Parsing the WAC has put your name up in lights...Kevin McCarthy...Parsing the WAC...he was probably the one guy awake in the “Ethics of Journalism” class...or maybe he decided to skip class the day the “There is no ethics in Jouranalism” lecture was given...either way he’s a credible guy."
02/17/09 1:49 AM: "Kevin M. is a good buddy of mine, and a class act all the way. I’m really proud of him for doing the things he’s done, because SJSU has been real hard to work with from a media standpoint despite what his recruiting coverage work could offer the hoops program."

02/12/09 10:58 AM: In the WAC, defense is king: "Kevin McCarthy has an insightful look at team defense in the WAC over at Parsing the WAC, and conference results so far are playing out his prediction: the team that gets the most stops, gets the most wins...Taking a game-by-game look at the Vandals’ conference season proves Kevin’s point. In all four of Idaho’s WAC wins, the team held opponents under .400 shooting."

02/06/09 10:26 PM: High praise for incoming hoops recruits..."Ran across some nice nuggets of info on the Parsing the WAC blog, which I must say is a very active and informative one. Kevin McCarthy talks Fresno State quite a bit in it, which is cool with me...So let’s get to the point...McCarthy talked ’Dogs recruiting with Carl Foster, who’s been around a few of the soon-to-be Fresno State players, and he had some pretty impressive things to say."

11/04/08 1:10PM: "Parsing the WAC is a great blog for news on West Coast Hoops. Thanks to Kevin McCarthy, who does a fine job there himself. If you are a fan of a WAC school or just want to keep up with players with local interest like Adrian Oliver at SJS, the Seattle kids at Nevada, or NW schools like BSU and Idaho, this is the place to be."

11/01/08: LOUISIANA TECH UPDATE: "Kevin McCarthy over at Parsing the WAC, an excellent source of WAC basketball news, was contacted by somebody familiar with the recent departure of four Louisiana Tech basketball players (which we touched on last week). For those who don't know, Drew Washington, Dwayne Lathan, Orrim Tims and Brandon Mims were dismissed after meeting with coach Kerry Rupp two weeks ago. Lathan said he was blindsided by the decision. McCarthy’s source, who remained anonymous, said there was more to the story than met the eye."
