Norristown’s Khalif Wyatt, a former Temple basketball great, has joined the Owls staff as the program’s director of player development, writes Kerith Gabriel for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Wyatt is coming off an assistant coaching role with West Chester’s men’s basketball program last season. He is a former Big 5 and Atlantic 10 player of the year and still remains at the top alongside Lynn Greer for the most 30-point games in a season at seven.

His professional career took him to China, the Philippines, and Israel, where he became a two-time All-Star in the Israeli League. He was also a first-team all-league selection.

“Today is a great day for Temple basketball,” said Temple head coach Adam Fisher. “It is so great to bring Khalif and his family back to Temple and be a part of our coaching staff. Khalif is going to be a great role model for our student-athletes on and off the court. He understands the pride it takes to wear the Cherry and White and brings a winning mentality to our program.”
