Hurley Jr. joins his father's staff after spending four seasons on the roster, while Amundsen goes from being one of the highest regarded high school coaches in the state to the collegiate sideline. Former Sun Devil forward Mitchell remains a mainstay in Hurley's staff as well.

The coaching staff will be tasked with working with what is almost entirely a freshly curated roster - guard Trevor Best is the only player to return from the previous season's squad.
