Fennelly Hired Frese. Frese Hires Fennelly. That would be Billy . . . not Bill.

The Terps announced today that the newest, and reportedly the last, addition to Coach B's staff is none other than Billy Fennelly, son of Iowa State's head coach, Bill Fennelly. Coach B is well aquainted with the Fennelly clan. Brenda was hired in 1996 by Bill to be Recruiting Coordinator for the Cyclones. Brenda's tremendous success recruiting for ISU no doubt helped launch her head coaching career. Now Bill's son, Billy, has been hired by Brenda as an assistant to the Recruiting Coordinator. Billy replaces Becky Bonner, who left Maryland to become Director of Basketball Operations for Louisville's new head coach (and former Maryland Associate head coach) Jeff Walz.

Billy is a recent graduate of Iowa State and though not quite the eye candy that Rhet is, is still pretty cute in that corn-fed Midwestern kind of way brings exceptional experience to his new position, having worked 3 years as student manager of the Cyclones' women's basketball team, as well working summers at various basketball camps.

Welcome to Billy Fennelly and all the new additions to Terrapin Nation!
