Ex-Arizona assistant Mark Phelps to coach Prolific Prep, where Nathan Bittle will play

Normally, having a coach with connections to the Arizona Wildcats take over a program that includes a top recruiting target would be a good thing. That might not be the case this time, however, considering how that coach’s tenure ended.

Mark Phelps, a former UA assistant, has been hired as coach at Northern California private school Prolific Prep, the same school where 5-star center Nathan Bittle is reportedly transferring for his senior year.

We would like to welcome our new Head Coach @CoachMarkPhelps and his family (Alissa, Owen, and Laney).
