SIU assistant coach leaves to take assistant spot at Columbia

2nd year SIU graduate assistant coach Koby Altman...
He was in the "Graduate Assistant" spot that was at one time occupied by Tony Young....but now Koby is leaving and is taking an assistant coaching spot at Columbia University in the Ivy League, joining the new head coach there, Kyle Smith (hired in May, 2010) -- after previous head coach Joe Jones left to take the assistant coach spot at Boston College.
Koby is originally from Brooklyn, and has spent most of his life on the east coast.
Of the other two assistants there under Kyle Smith, one is also brand new, the other has been there for two years.

Here's Koby's bio page at SIU:

And as you can see, his name has been removed from the page listing the assistant coaches..

One other assistant coach, Marcus Belcher had also been in the news recently, with a DUI that involved trying to outrun the cops, speeding, then leaving the scene and trying to get away. No word yet on whether SIU is going to do anything with Belcher - so I guess he's just gonna keep his job...
