Justin Gainey ‘honored and excited’ to join Arizona’s coaching staff

In his first public comments since being hired, new Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Justin Gainey said he is “honored and excited to join the Wildcat family where the tradition of basketball is as strong as I’ve ever seen.”

Here is the rest of his statement (via Twitter):

“I am beyond grateful to Coach Miller for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. I know from firsthand experience that his development of players and passion and love for the game is unmatched. My family and I are proud to call Tucson home, and I can’t wait to coach at this unbelievable university in front of a sold out McKale Center.
