Merritt’s move to Morgan State had been in the works for a while. He wanted to get back into an on court/recruiting position, rather than his admin spot where he was at LSU.
He was not a candidate to replace Benford, as the position needed to be filled by a black coach. It would not have been a good look for LSU to have no black coaches on staff.
Merritt is in Wade’s inner circle and will be a candidate the next time an opening is available.
There were zero hard feelings, as Merritt is a professional.

Thanks for the info, Bubba.
To make clear, I didn’t think he was mad or that reason he left was b/c of Tasmin; but I know how ignorant and dumb some of the people on here can be. (e.g. Jack Daniel and his moronic response above).
I never said outright before Tasmin was hired, but when the question was asked of who would replace Benford, I always mentioned Tasmin as an option and felt he would be the direction Wade would go. I felt that for many different reasons, but one of the big ones being that he had to have some diversity on staff and wouldn’t hire another white coach.
Any insight on how the team is looking early on in summer practices and workouts?
