Murray, who spent the past two seasons as an assistant to Dan Hurley at Rhode Island, has also spent time on the staffs at Towson, Wagner and Arizona. "I am really excited to announce the addition of Luke Murray to our coaching staff," said Mack. "Luke is one of the top young assistant coaches in America. His efforts recently at Towson and URI have demonstrated his ability to both attract talented players and coach them successfully. I have known Luke for a number of years and it is evident he has a passion for Xavier Basketball." Murray enjoyed a successful 2014-15 season at Rhode Island. The Rams finished 23-10 overall and tied for second in the Atlantic 10 Conference at 13-5. URI earned a postseason berth in the National Invitation Tournament and advanced to the second round. Murray joined the Rhody staff in 2013 after spending the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Towson under Pat Skerry.
