Luke Murray just finished his third season on Mack's staff after two years under Dan Hurley at Rhode Island and two years under Pat Skerry at Towson. He was previously a graduate assistant at Arizona for Sean Miller, who hired Mack as an assistant at Xavier in 2004 and whom Mack replaced at Xavier in 2009.
