BOULDER — Colorado basketball hit center stage nationally again Monday when former Buffaloes standout Jamahl Mosley was officially introduced as the new head coach of the NBA's Orlando Magic.
Paired with the June 28 hiring of former Buffs great Chauncey Billups by the Portland Trail Blazers, Mosley's hiring puts CU in rarified company — currently, only three college programs can claim two current NBA head coaches.
The other two are Arizona (Golden State's Steve Kerr and Sacramento's Luke Walton) and Kentucky (LA Lakers' Frank Vogel and Detroit's Dwane Casey).
