Detroit Mercy has hired former Northern Illinois coach Mark Montgomery off Tom Izzo’s staff at Michigan State. The Horizon League school announced the move on Wednesday, nearly a month after parting ways with coach Mike Davis. Northern Illinois earned a share of a Mid-American Conference division title in 2020 under Montgomery and fired him a year later with a 1-7 record during the pandemic-shortened season, leading to a short stint on Davis’ staff at Detroit. Montgomery was on Izzo’s staff the last three years and was also an assistant for him from 2001 to 2011.
