NAU head coach Jack Murphy resigns, joins Arizona Wildcats as new top assistant

In eight years on Lute Olson's staff, Jack Murphy wore many hats: Team manager, recruiting coordinator, administrative assistant, video coordinator and operations director.

Murphy is returning to Tucson with a more impressive title: Associate head coach.

Murphy stepped down as NAU's head coach Sunday night and will be joining Sean Miller's staff as the lead assistant, both schools announced. Murphy replaces Mark Phelps, whose contract will not be renewed. No contract details were immediately available.
