Apparently he knew Todd Quinter (our current Director of Pro Scouting) when they worked together in PHX.
That's all I got.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that immediately thought of this upon seeing the picture
North Carolina's pro basketball teams are coached by Louis CK and Hank Schraeder from Breaking Bad. This is a beautiful time.

Gillespie has been in Pro Basketball since 2001. He's had jobs as a scout, video coordinator and as an assistant coach.

Article from a Catholic publication back in April 2015 on Gillespie -

Maybe Mike Malone is pushing folks out to make space for his own assistants? DEN has a lot of nice pieces, not sure why coaches would be bailing.
