With Jack Owens' addition to the men's basketball coaching staff last month, head coach Matt Painter needed only fill the supervisor of men's basketball operations position to solidify his staff.
That job is done.
Elliot Bloom, who served as the team's sports information director the last seven seasons, will take over the role vacated by Kent Williams. Williams left with associate head coach Cuonzo Martin, who was hired as Missouri State's head coach.
Bloom, a Purdue graduate, will handle scheduling, travel arrangements, oversee summer camps and serve as the liaison between the program and the community.
