Arizona announces hiring of Jason Terry as assistant coach

The Jet has landed, a little more than a month before he started making his descent back to Tucson.

The Arizona Wildcats officially announced Thursday it has hired former standout Jason Terry as an assistant men’s basketball coach, taking the place of Justin Gainey who left for a job at Marquette in early April.

It’s been almost as long that Terry had been widely rumored to full the vacancy, but a school-wide hiring freeze brought on by the coronavirus pandemic did not allow Arizona to formally advertise it until last week.
