Memphis coach Josh Pastner has added Jack Murphy, a scout for the Denver Nuggets, to the Tigers’ staff as an assistant coach. Pastner worked with Murphy when they were at Arizona. Murphy was a team manager, recruiting coordinator, administrative assistant video coordinator for eight years under former Wildcats coach Lute Olson. Pastner praised Murphy in a university press release.
“Jack will bring a lot of energy to the Memphis program,” said Pastner. “He’s done a great job during his time in Denver, and the Nuggets’ players talk highly of the intense workouts he puts them through and how well those workouts prepare them for games. I also worked with Jack while we were at Arizona, and that familiarity will help as the program moves forward.”
