Former Arizona Wildcat Joseph Blair named Sixers assistant coach

The G League is supposed to be a place for players to develop until they, hopefully, earn a call up to the NBA.

The same goes for coaches.

Rio Valley Grande Vipers head coach and former Arizona Wildcat Joseph Blair was hired by the Philadelphia 76ers as an assistant coach on Monday.

Blair is coming off a season in which he led the Vipers, the Houston Rockets’ affiliate, to a G League championship. He will be coaching the Sixers during NBA Summer League, which begins July 5.
