Former Missouri men's basketball star Kim English has been hired by new North Carolina coach Mike Malone to be an assistant for the Tar Heels, according to a report Monday from Jeff Goodman at the Field of 68.

English has been a head coach for the past five seasons, but was fired at the end of this past season by Providence after spending three seasons with the Friars. He was previously the head coach at George Mason, which followed stints as an assistant at Tulsa, Colorado and Tennessee.

Providence did not make the NCAA Tournament with English in charge. His record was 48-52 with the Friars.

English played 141 games for Missouri between 2008-12, going to the NCAA Tournament all four seasons he was on campus and securing two Big 12 titles. He was a second-round NBA Draft pick by the Detroit Pistons in 2012, and his coaching career started as an assistant with former Mizzou coach Frank Haith at Tulsa.

North Carolina, which fired Hubert Davis after the Tar Heels’ first-round NCAA Tournament loss, officially hired Malone to be its next head coach on April 8.

Malone was most-recently the head coach of the NBA’s Denver Nuggets from 2015-25, winning the franchise's first title in 2023, and was an assistant in the league with the Golden State Warriors when English was drafted. He also coached at Providence as an assistant between 1995-98.
