The University of Connecticut announced Tuesday morning that George Blaney has been named men's basketball associate head coach, filling the position left by Tom Moore in March.

Blaney has been a member of the Huskies staff since 2001 and a friend of head coach Jim Calhoun for four decades. The 67-year-old Blaney coached at Dartmouth, Holy Cross and Seton Hall on the Division I level and was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003.
