Charlton "C.Y." Young, an assistant coach for the Missouri Tigers, has accepted a new position as an Associate Coach at the University of Miami, announced on Tuesday. Young, who has been coaching since 1996-97, previously worked under Leonard Hamilton at Florida State before joining the Tigers for the 2022-23 season. During his three seasons with Missouri, Young played a significant role in the team's return to the NCAA Tournament twice and contributed to successful high school recruiting efforts.
Miami head coach Jai Lucas praised Young's extensive coaching experience of 30 years and strong national relationships, highlighting him as a valuable addition to the program. Young's departure from Missouri marks the second coaching staff change for Dennis Gates, with Rob Summers also leaving to become the head coach at Cleveland State. Young's expertise and recruiting success are expected to benefit Miami as he joins the coaching staff in South Florida.
