Both the UL men's and women's basketball teams finalized their coaching staffs on Wednesday for the 2009-10 season.

On the men's side, head coach Robert Lee announced that former University of New Orleans assistant Nate Dixon and ex-Nicholls State forward and international coach James Williams. Both coaches are slotted to begin July 1, pending approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.

Dixon and William will replace Byron Starks and Jai Steadman, both of whom turned in letters of resignation after the Ragin' Cajuns went 10-20 last season.
