Williamson joins Orlando Magic staff

Former Razorback great Corliss Williamson was hired as an assistant coach by the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, his second coaching position in the NBA in the last four years.

Williamson, 42, joined new Magic coach Frank Vogel’s staff after spending the previous three years as an assistant for the Sacramento Kings, the franchise that drafted him No. 13 overall in 1995 following an All-American career at Arkansas that included winning the national title in 1994.
