I didn't see this mentioned elsewhere, but it looks like Linder hired Jimmy Edel from UNC as Strength Director to complete the staff:

I haven't been keeping up as much with the new hire and certainly don't know as much about Linder as some of you but I was shocked to see him rated so highly of the coach ranking.

Came in at #40 can't say I saw that type of ranking for a new coach.

"Coach Linder is regarded to be one of the smartest coaches in college basketball and his vision as a coach has made himself and his teams very successful everywhere he has been. I'm honored to be a part of his staff here in my home state."

I love this hire! Sundance has a ton of energy all of the time.

I still remember watching Sundance vs Marcus Bailey in the Wyoming High school State Semi finals in the event Center. Probably the best high school game that I have ever watched in Wyoming. I was a freshman in high school though so some nostalgic feelings might cloud my memory. haha. Bailey hit a game tying 3 at the end but his coach had called timeout when he took the shot because it was a really deep 3. Sundance's camels ended up winning. Crazy that it was that long ago! I always thought that both of those guys deserved a scholarship to Wyo. Wicks was along the same mold as a Donta Richardson type of guard IMO.

I have followed Sundance's career from afar ever since. His little brother is a coach as well, I think.
