Bones Bagaunte, offensive coordinator for the 2021 Indoor Football League United Bowl champion Massachusetts Pirates, has been hired by the Spokane Shock as their new offensive coordinator.

“Bones is one of the great young minds in the Indoor Football League,” new Shock head coach Cedric Walker said in the release on the team website announcing the hire. “With his strong leadership, our offense will be far more dynamic and explosive than in the past.”
