Greg Hansen's Sunday Notebook: The difficult path to playing time for NBA rookies, Jason Hisey's coaching chops, the Tucson pipeline to Emporia, Kansas, a thumbs-down for Scottsdale in late May, Cassidy Morrow's ongoing productivity and more.
Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on: The difficult path to playing time for NBA rookies ... Jason Hisey's coaching chops ... the Tucson pipeline to Emporia, Kansas ... a thumbs-down for Scottsdale in late May ... Cassidy Morrow's ongoing productivity ... and more.
Based on the NBA rookie seasons of Arizona’s leading draft picks of the last 40 years, only one ex-Wildcat, Andre Iguodala, started every game. Damon Stoudamire and Deandre Ayton started 70, Sean Elliott 69, Lauri Markkanen 68 and Mike Bibby 50. Even UA first-round picks Chris Mills, Richard Jefferson and Khalid Reeves started 18 games or fewer as a rookie.
But today, Gordon is a $19-million-a-year, defense-first forward for the Denver Nuggets who has started his last 388 NBA regular-season games. Even though he rarely gets more than 10 “touches’’ per game — getting the ball in a scoring situation — Gordon will likely become the eighth ex-Wildcat to score 10,000 regular-season points in the NBA. The list:
After his pitching days, Hisey returned to UA and earned a master's degree with a 4.0 GPA. He then became the first baseball coach at the new Catalina Foothills High School and went 256-78, reaching state championship games in 2002, 2004 and 2005. Alday’s boyhood baseball rival, Dave Bingham of Palo Verde High School, subsequently became Emporia State’s head baseball coach. Alday died in 2021 after coaching Pima College to 518 baseball victories, among other coaching jobs.
That plan fell through, and the tournament, which begins its second year Tuesday, is held at Scottsdale Stadium. The facilities are second to none, but the unforgiving heat makes it a negative to the players and what few fans are willing to sit through 100-degree baseball. Short stuff: Magnificent Morrow, unparalleled Geist, rising FlowersRed Morrow, a longtime TUSD educator, coached Rincon High School to the 2002 boys golf state championship, fueled by senior Michael Thompson, who has gone on to win two PGA Tour events and be the runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Amateur.
