Before joining Grant’s staff in 2017, Kane spent six seasons at Murray State. He coached on Prohm’s staff for the first four of those seasons. Prohm took the Iowa State job in 2015.
"I'm excited to get reunited with James," Prohm told the Des Moines Register. "He is a guy that has been integral to the success I've had over the years. We are very fortunate to be able to get him up here to Iowa State.
“James is a relentless worker who is really good on the floor and great with the guys. He will be a really good asset here in the Ames community and I think people will really enjoy getting to know him and he’ll have a big impact on our staff.”
Dayton posted a job opening for an assistant coach last week. It's also looking for a new strength coach for the men's basketball team with the departure of Casey Cathrall.
