"Jon will be a wonderful addition to our staff and I am thrilled he decided to join us," said Woodward. "Jon was a great player and leader in our program, and we always felt he was a coach-on-the-floor who had a great feel for the game and loved hard work.  He is a man of great character, is a tremendous teacher, and will do a great job leading the young men in our program to great success both on and off the court. We are excited to have him join our coaching staff!

Sheets came back to Maine after serving as an assistant coach for the women's basketball team at Simpson University in California.
