- Dekker reunites with head coach Lamont Paris, who coached him at Wisconsin during back-to-back Final Four runs.
- The former Wisconsin star was the 18th pick in the 2015 NBA Draft and closed an 11-year pro career overseas this season in Spain.
- His overseas run included stints in Russia, Turkey, and England, highlighted by a 2023 league title and MVP season with the London Lions.
- The hire supports Paris's push to improve results after a 13-19 season and only one NCAA berth in four years.
