The Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball and volleyball programs have assistant coaching vacancies but the university-wide hiring freeze implemented during the coronavirus crisis is preventing them from filling them, athletic director Dave Heeke told local media Thursday in a Zoom interview.
“However, in our key positions, coaching positions, as we get to a point where we know we’re going to have student-athletes start to come back, we’ll fill those positions on the coaching line,” Heeke said. “So every one of our positions we’ll evaluate in a unique way depending on the circumstances, but generally we’re in a hiring freeze across the board for those vacant positions.
