LAS VEGAS -- The Lute Olson coaching tree just grew one branch larger this summer as Miles Simon made his fourth official coaching appearance for the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
The Lakers took part in the Utah Summer League mini-camp earlier this month, allowing Arizona's 1997 Final Four MVP to get his feet wet before taking on all-comers in Las Vegas where every NBA team is out to capture the Summer League championship. The same championship the Lakers won last summer, coached by fellow Arizona Wildcat alumnus and current New York Knicks assistant coach Jud Buechler.
