Arizona Wildcats Fan Spotlight: Tony Berlin has lived his dream in a way he didn’t expect

ZonaZealots writers are huge Arizona Wildcats fans, but it doesn’t compare to some of our readers, today we interviewed former Arizona basketball recruit and sports broadcaster Tony Berlin.

Growing up in Tucson Berlin was born a Wildcat! He played ball at Amphitheater High School in the 1980’s when Lute Olson was starting to put Arizona on the college basketball map. Even though he feels he had no business playing D1 college hoops, he says he was a “slow 6’3’’ but a decent jump shot” type of player, he sent Olson a letter his freshman year asking him to consider recruiting him.
