Prevost will oversee all administrative areas within the men's basketball program. He will supervise the videotaping efforts of the team, including film breakdown and scouting, as well as supervising all of the Golden Gophers' videotaping at games and coordinating the exchange of team videotapes with opponents. Prevost will also coordinate all on-campus- recruiting visits and be responsible for the Golden Gopher basketball camps. He will serve as the coaching staff's liaison to the academic and student support service units.
"I'm excited to have Art join our staff," Head Coach Dan Monson said. "My goal with all of the staff members I have hired is to surround myself with people that I have long term relationships with and know how I want to coach the game of basketball. Art fits that description to a tee and will be a great addition to our staff."
While at TCU, Prevost acted as the recruiting and academic coordinator for Mike Peterson's Horned Frog program. He was the top assistant to Peterson and now rejoins him on the Minnesota staff.
A 1990 graduate of Lemar University, where he was a two-year letterwinner at point guard, he helped lead the Cardinals to their last 20 win season in 1987-88. Prevost is a member of National Association of Basketball Coaches and the Black Coaches Association.
Prevost and his wife Tona, have a one-year old daughter, Taylon.
