It’s no secret that the Arizona Wildcats plan to hire Jason Terry to fill their assistant coaching vacancy, but now we have some clarity as to when the move will be made official.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting that Arizona is expected to announce Terry’s hiring on Thursday.
19-year NBA veteran and former Wildcat Jason Terry has accepted assistant coaching job at Arizona, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. Terry departs Mavs, where he's been assistant GM of Texas Legends. Announcement expected Thursday.

Terry, who played at Arizona from 1995-99 and was a key member of the 1997 national championship team, does not have any college coaching experience, but his connections on the West Coast (he’s also a legend in Seattle), stardom as an NBA player, and storied history with the Wildcats could make him a valuable asset to Arizona’s coaching staff.
