Pitt Basketball Hires Alums for Staff Shakeup

0:00On April 28, Pittman's basketball head coach, Jeff Capel, just dropped some big news for the 2026-27 season, hiring two, Panther Alums to beef up his staff. Ricardo Greer, a 2001 pit grad, steps in as Associate Head Coach while Ronald Ramone, class of 2008, joins as Assistant, Coach. Plus, Billy Hubley gets promoted from Scouting Director to Assistant Coach. These hires feel key spots after losing Associate Head Coach Timmel Tool, Assistant Jason Capel, and Director of Player Development Gilbert Brown from. Last season, Greer brings pro-plane chops from Europe, where he snagged league MVP honors and championships, plus coaching stints at Dayton and Central Florida. Ramone, fresh off Iona, helped turn around Fordham with winning records and sharp three-point play. Capel says these guys each add something unique. Greer and Ramone know Pitt inside out from their playing days, leading the team to big-e-success and NCAA runs.

Fans are buzzing about the hometown flavor, with these pit ties expected to boost recruiting and player buy-in. Greer's scoring legacy and Ramone's shooting expertise, paired with Hubley's video smarts, should sharpen every part of the program. This staff shake-up positions Pitt to climb higher in the ACC. Keep an eye on how they gel come fall.
