New UW Green Bay Phoenix mens basketball coach Linc Darner has hired his first assistant and has released three of former coach Brian Wardle’s 2015 recruits. Darner, coming off the NCAA Division II national championship with Florida Southern, has added Beaver Dam, Wisconsin native Randall Herbst to his staff. Herbst was an assistant at Nebraska-Omaha and worked with Darner in Florida for the 2006 and 2007 season. Darner has also released the top 3 recruits including Joel Okafor who is expected to join Wardle at Bradley University. Antoine Pittman and Julian Torres can also explore other opportunities. With four seniors also graduating from last year’s team, Keifer Sykes, Greg Mays, Alfonzo McKinnie and Josh Humpries, Darner is almost starting from scratch with his first Division I head coaching job.
