When California forward Kameron Rooks saw and heard his father Sean Rooks on the video board in McKale Center ending the Arizona introduction video with “This is Arizona,” there weren’t tears. Just smiles.
Head coach Sean Miller topped off the intro video for years with the famous slogan and now this season, Ray Smith was the man called upon to end it after medically retiring. This time, Arizona welcomed Kameron back in the simplest yet classy way possible with Sean Rooks as the closer.
“It put a smile on my face. Every time I hear his voice, it puts a smile on my face,” Rooks said.
