FAYETTEVILLE -- Watch The Last Dance closely and you'll see glimpses of a University of Arkansas assistant basketball coach from nearly 50 years ago.
Jimmy Rodgers hasn't gotten much air time in the ESPN documentary series about the Chicago Bulls' NBA championship teams led by Michael Jordan -- a shot here and there on the bench or in the locker room -- but he was a key member of Coach Phil Jackson's staff from the 1994-95 through 1997-98 seasons.
"Jimmy was one of the finest assistant coaches ever to work in the NBA," Jackson said in More Than A Game, a book he co-wrote with Charley Rosen published in 2003.
