Dayton Flyers assistant headed to Syracuse

"I can't express how excited I am to be back at Syracuse," Griffin said in a press release. "It was a real honor to play for a Hall of Fame coach in Coach Boeheim and I feel the same way about being a member of his staff. I love Syracuse. I've enjoyed the places and people I've worked with in the past but I've always hoped I'd get the opportunity to come back. It's like home to me."

Griffin was the UD assistant coach who recruited senior point guard Scoochie Smith.
