Wes Miller has reportedly filled the open assistant coaching spot on his staff. CBS Sports's Jon Rothstein reports the school is hiring UCF assistant coach Mamadou N'Diaye. He replaces Drew Adams who took a role on the Indiana staff.

He picks up right where he left off with former UCF big man turned UC big man Moustapha Thiam. N'Daye is a Senegal native as well, coaching for the past 11 years with his most recent stint at UCF starting in June 2021.

He earned a promotion to associate head coach in September of 2024.

N’Diaye came to UCF after two seasons as an associate coach at the University of San Francisco. He was previously an assistant at Coastal Carolina (2011-13) and Georgia Tech (2014-16). N'Daye figures to have a similar to his one at UCFwhere he focused on coaching forwards like Thiam.
