With all of the change coming to Xavier basketball upon the hiring of Richard Pitino, one familiar assistant coach will still be around.
Dante Jackson, a guard for the Musketeers from 2007-2011 who was originally hired as part of Travis Steele's staff in 2018, will be retained by Pitino, according to CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein.
Pitino is bringing assistants Isaac Chew, Aaron Katsuma and Tarvish Felton from New Mexico to Xavier.
Jackson was also a graduate assistant for Xavier from 2012-2014 before assistant-coaching stops at Northern Kentucky, Air Force and Robert Morris.

As a player, Jackson went to the Sweet 16 three times, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2008. As a coach, Jackson was on Miller's staff for a Sweet 16 appearance in 2023.
