Is there a current director of basketball operations at WIU or is this a new position. And (sorry for my ignorance) what does a person in this position do?

Typically this person is charge of everything from meal set ups to hotel arrangements and study tables and things along those lines I know the guy who did it last year left not sure if they filled the role.
