Head Coach Greg Vanderjagt is looking forward to working with Cameron.
 
“Pero is an incredibly well respected individual in the basketball world. His experience and knowledge will be a great asset to the team moving forward. I’m excited to work with Pero for the remainder of the season and have no doubt he will have a positive impact on the group,” Vanderjagt said.
