Former Gold Rush assistant earns promotion at Richmond

Coach Kim Lewis

NEW ORLEANS — Kim Lewis, a former Xavier University of Louisiana coach, has been promoted to men's basketball assistant coach at the University of Richmond.
      
Lewis, Richmond's director of basketball operations the past two seasons, earned the promotion after associate head coach Kevin McGeehan became the head coach at Campbell in April.
      
Lewis was an assistant to Dannton Jackson during Jackson's first season (2002-03) as head coach of the Gold Rush. That XU team won 11 of its first 12 games, finished 22-12 and ranked among the top 25 teams in NAIA Division I in field-goal percentage and scoring defense.
     
A former standout player at Tulane, Lewis also has been an assistant coach at Tulane, Centenary, McNeese State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Duquesne and Northeastern.
