Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean has assembled his staff. If he can recruit talent the same way, the Stegeman Coliseum will soon be rocking.

With the hire of Amir Abdur-Rahim, Georgia basketball head coach Tom Crean hammered in the last piece of his assistant coaching puzzle. With Joe Scott, Chad Dollar and Abdur-Rahim in place, the puzzle picture looks stout.
