OMAHA, Neb. -- Former Maverick Tyler Bullock has joined the Omaha men's basketball staff as the director of basketball operations, head coach Derrin Hansen announced Tuesday.

Bullock, a native of Lincoln, Neb., was a two-year starter for UNO from 2009 to 2011. In two seasons as a Maverick, the Lincoln North Star product averaged 19.1 points, 3.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.7 rebounds per game. Bullock ranked among the top 50 nationally in scoring two straight years, and as a junior, he was in the top 40 in the nation for free throw shooting.

An All-America honorable mention selection, Bullock was a two-time all-region pick and earned first-team All-MIAA honors twice. In 2010, he led Omaha to a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance. Also a standout in the classroom, Bullock was named to the MIAA Academic Honor Roll three times and was named to the 2010 NABC Honors Court. He graduated with his bachelor's degree in business in May 2011.

"We are thrilled to have Tyler join our staff in 2012-13," Hansen said. "He was an accomplished student-athlete here at UNO, and he understands the dynamic of our basketball program both on and off the court. Tyler will be a great addition as we move forward in Division I and the Summit League."

Bullock replaces former Director of Basketball Operations Rodney Kuhl, who took a position in private business.
