Arizona coach Sean Miller made a couple of notable signings this summer in Lamont Jones and Derrick Williams, but my favorite move hiring graduate assistant Luke Murray.
Anything that raises the odds of Bill Murray attending a game is a bonus.
Yep, that Bill Murray.
Luke Murray is one of two kids Murray had with his first wife, Mickey Kelley. He’s been making the young coach rounds for the last few years, working at Quinnipiac and Division-II Post University of Connecticut. He’ll handle non-coaching duties for Arizona.
"He'll be doing a little bit of everything," UA coach Sean Miller said. He's a "young coach who's always worked really, really hard."
Unlike his actor-comedian pops, Luke’s been focused on basketball for some time. "I've always been a basketball addict," Murray told the Waterbury (Conn.) Republican-American. "It's been long determined that my career would be something in this realm. My father never pushed me in any kind of direction. He's been a supporter. He's excited about the prospect of my career."
I don’t think he’ll bring up his dad’s role in “Space Jam,” though. Avoid that one at all costs.
