Seattle University didn’t go far to find a new men’s basketball coach, and in turn, he didn’t leave the family to find an assistant.

Men’s basketball coach Cameron Dollar, who was an assistant at the University of Washington, has hired his dad to be an assistant coach.

Donald Dollar, who was an assistant coach the past two years at the University of West Georgia, has been coaching for 46 years, mostly high school basketball in Georgia. He has more than 660 career wins.

“Because he is my father, I even at times take for granted how good of a coach he has been for a long, long time,” wrote Dollar on his blog. ”It only took one day on the court watching him teach to quickly bring me back. Seattle U, we are truly getting a special treat.”

Yesterday, Athletic Director Bill Hogan announced that he fired women’s basketball coach Dan Kriley. Kriley has been the Redhawks’ coach since 2004 with an overall record of 77-59.

A national search has already started for a new women’s coach, Hogan said.
