The Phoenix Suns are no longer owned by a University of Arizona grad, but the franchise is tapping ever deeper into the state’s flagship college basketball program.
New Phoenix head coach Frank Vogel quickly brought on Miles Simon as an assistant and is closing in on adding former Wildcat Quinton Crawford to the staff, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
Crawford, who played at Arizona from 2011-13, served as an assistant under Vogel for the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers. He most recently served on the Dallas Mavericks staff.
