Nearly 20 years after Jason Terry first stepped on campus, ‘The Jet’ returned to the University of Arizona in February 2015 to take care of some unfinished business.
Yes, there was a jersey retirement ceremony to attend and plenty of old friends to catch up with, but beyond all the gravitas surrounding Terry’s visit to the McKale Center, he had a very practical reason for being in Tucson.
He needed to pick up his diploma.
That college degree, which Terry spent two decades working towards, opened the doors to career opportunities such as the one at his doorstep now: returning to Arizona as an assistant coach.
