Among those on the Bighorns roster are former University of Nevada stars Kyle Shiloh and Gary Hill-Thomas. Head coach for the Bighorns is Jay Humphries, an 11-year NBA veteran who was most recently an assistant coach with the Phoenix Suns.
Another former Nevada star, Todd Okeson, is working with the team as the assistant director of basketball operations. Okeson may also receive a chance to play with the Bighorns, but for now is sidelined with a torn tendon in his foot.
