Charlton Young Leaves Missouri, Joins Miami Basketball Staff

Charlton 'C.Y.' Young, the associate head coach for Missouri men's basketball, is leaving to join the coaching staff at Miami, marking a significant transition for both programs. Young, who has been instrumental in Missouri's recent recruiting successes, including two NCAA Tournament appearances in three seasons, will reunite with Miami's new head coach, Jai Lucas, with whom he shares a history from their time at Florida State. His departure follows that of another assistant coach, Rob Summers, who was named head coach at Cleveland State. Young, a Miami native, is expected to bring valuable experience and strong recruiting connections to the Hurricanes, who are looking to rebuild after a challenging season. Missouri now faces the task of filling two coaching positions as they prepare for the upcoming season. Young's exit underscores the ongoing changes within college basketball coaching staffs as programs seek to enhance their competitiveness.
