Hampton: Nickelberry Fills Pirates’ Ship



Nickelberry Fills Pirates’ Ship: New Hampton coach Kevin Nickelberry has already hired most of his coaching staff for next season. He tapped Darryl Hilliard, Chris Pompey and Brian Merritt to become Pirate assistants. Hilliard comes to Hampton from Holy Cross, where he has been an assistant the past two seasons. Pompey was an assistant coach at Hartford, and Merritt was Rick Pitino’s director of basketball operations at Louisville. Like Nickelberry, all three hires have ties to Pitino’s coaching tree.
