MEMPHIS, TN – The University of North Texas men’s basketball program has made a significant change in its coaching staff by hiring Josh Kahn as the new director of basketball operations. Kahn officially joined the Mean Green staff on May 7, 2025, following the appointment of head coach Daniyal Robinson, who was hired on April 4, 2025.
