When Rich Barnes accepted the Tennessee head basketball coach position, he also found a new home.

For five individuals, however, his hiring signaled the need to search for new jobs.

Tennessee spokesman Tom Satkowiak confirmed to The Daily Beacon via email on Wednesday that five members of former head coach Donnie Tyndall’s staff had been released Tuesday, March 31. Barnes will not retain assistant coach Beau Braden, strength and conditioning coach Todd Moyer, director of basketball operations Justin Phelps, director of player development J.T Burton and video coordinator Ty Proffitt on his new staff.

All five members were hired by Tyndall, who was fired by athletic director Dave Hart on Friday. Hart said he believed Tyndall would face Level I and Level II NCAA violations.

Barnes is at least considering keeping some of the members of Tyndall’s former staff, however. Satkowiak also confirmed that the new head coach plans to interview Tyndall’s assistant coaches Al Pinkins and Chris Shumate.

In his introductory press conference, Barnes also that he will bring members of his former assistants to Tennessee to form part of his new staff. Chris Ogden, one of his former assistants at Texas, tweeted the lyrics to Rocky Top on Tuesday and changed his cover photo on his twitter profile to a photo of Thompson-Boling Arena.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Barnes has not finalized his staff and is the only person listed in basketball staff in the directory on utsports.com.
