Luke Murray, a 2007 graduate of Fairfield University (the proud alma mater of yours truly) has been hired as an assistant basketball coach by the University of Arizona.
The hiring strikes me as a little odd, since Murray didn't play basketball at Fairfield, at least not to my knowledge. At least he does have coaching experience with a Division II school and at Quinnipiac College. Eamon Brennan at Yahoo! Sports writes:
"What does Murray bring to a basketball program? I have no idea. Presumably, neither does he; he only graduated college in 2007 and is still a G.A., meaning he'll be doing quite a bit of quiet learning -- preparing tape, taking notes, keeping the clipboard handy, that sort of thing -- for at least a few more years. But he'll be interesting to watch."
So why is Yahoo! Sports interested in a new assistant coach at Arizona? Well, as other Stags should know, Luke Murray has another claim to fame (besides having gone to Fairfield, that is), because he is also the son of Bill Murray. Yes, that Bill Murray.
