FAU hires Isaiah Austin, whose NBA playing plays were derailed, as an assistant coach
Isaiah Austin never wanted to become a coach. The former Baylor center — whose plans to play in the NBA were thwarted when he was diagnosed in 2014 with Marfan syndrome — was introduced Friday as an assistant coach on new coach John Jakus' staff at Florida Atlantic. It's the first real coaching opportunity for the 7-foot-1 Austin, who spent the last few years working for the NBA, not playing in the league.
