With Igor Kokoskov landing the Phoenix Suns head coaching gig earlier during the offseason, the Utah Jazz had a major hole to fill on the bench. Luckily, Kokoskov didn’t bring any Utah assistants with him to Phoenix, and now the Jazz will be adding Fotis Katsikaris, the first Greek assistant coach in NBA history.
The Jazz have an international touch across the organization. They have found success with several international players and coaches. Katsikaris joins a coaching tree that continues to branch out and have success.
Katsikaris has over 20 years of coaching experience. He has coached in Spain, Russia, Israel and, of course, Greece.
