Carroll already has some experience as an NBA assistant as he's been a part of the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers staff.
Former Missouri Tigers men's basketball standout DeMarre Carroll was hired as an assistant coach by new Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson on Friday morning, per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Carroll joins a Cleveland team on the rise as the Cavaliers finished this past season as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference and the front office just signed five-time All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell to a three-year, $150.3 million maximum contract extension on Tuesday. As Wojnarowski stated, Carroll already has some experience as an NBA assistant as he was hired by the Milwaukee Bucks on August 2, 2022 and had the same role with the Los Angeles Lakers starting on July 4, 2023.
In his first season at Mizzou, he was named the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, which landed him a spot on the Big 12 All-Newcomer Team and was an Honorable Mention All-Big 12 member. In 2009, he was named the Big 12 Tournament MVP after leading Missouri to a Championship victory over Baylor. Additionally, Carroll also earned a spot on an NCAA Tournament All-Region team after leading Mizzou to the Elite Eight.
