General manager Bob Myers helped turn the Warriors around, and now he's going to try to help turn the UCLA men's basketball program around.
Don't worry Warriors fans. Myers isn't leaving the NBA champs. But Myers will have a big role in finding the next head coach for the UCLA Bruins.
On Monday, UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero announced that Steve Alford had been fired as head coach. In the press release regarding the Alford news, Guerrero announce that Myers would work with Senior Associate Athletic Director Josh Rebholz and Associate Athletic Director Chris Carlson to find Alford's replacement.
