Gilbert Arenas appeared on former Arizona Wildcats teammate Richard Jefferson’s Instagram Live Monday afternoon and naturally the conversation turned to the UA’s vacant head coaching position.
Arenas and Jefferson played at Arizona together between 1999-2001 and know what it takes to lead the program to a Final Four. After successful NBA careers, Jefferson has transitioned to a broadcasting job at ESPN and Pac-12 Network, while Arenas is building his own media platform through the No Chill Podcast.
As two of the most successful and outspoken former Wildcats, their voices carry outsized weight.
