Take that, Phoenix! That’s for poaching Goody.
His [wikipedia bio is unusually thorough](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cody_Toppert), if anyone wants to learn more about him. Seems like a good developmental and analytics coach.
> On June 10, 2019, Toppert was added as an assistant coach on the Memphis Tigers men’s basketball team, replacing Sam Mitchell on head coach Penny Hardaway’s staff.[9] The Tigers finished 1st in Opponent FG% on defense, and Toppert supervised the development of James Wiseman and Precious Achiuwa.[10]
Neat. Will be interesting to see how the Go-Go looks this season.
