MOSCOW, Idaho - University of Idaho head men's basketball coach George Pfeifer has rounded out his coaching staff with the hiring of Adam Hiatt as an administrative assistant.

Hiatt played two seasons at Westminster College at Salt Lake City, Utah where he was a two-time NAIA All-American and the WC all-time career points leader.  Prior to Westminster, Hiatt played two seasons at Ricks College at Rexburg, Idaho.  While at Ricks College, Hiatt was a two-time All-Scenic West Athletic Conference selection.  

"I competed against Adam in my previous coaching position and at the end of the day his approach to the game of basketball on and off the court earned him not just my respect but everyone's," Pfeifer said.

Hiatt earned a Bachelors degree in History from Westminster College in 2004 and a Masters degree in Geography from Brigham Young University in 2006.  Hiatt, originally from Bonners Ferry, Idaho, is married to Jenica.

"He has a blue collar work ethic which he ties together with a high basketball IQ," Pfeifer said.  I'm glad to have Adam on my team as opposed to playing against him."
