Adam Zagoria covers basketball at all levels. He is the author of two books and an award-winning journalist whose articles have appeared in ESPN The Magazine, SLAM, Sheridan Hoops, Sports Illustrated, Basketball Times and in newspapers nationwide.
Arizona assistant Book Richardson will decide within the next 24 hours or so whether to accept a position as associate head coach at Rutgers under Mike Rice, a source with direct knowledge said.
“It’s just gotta be right,” the source said.
A former New York Gauchos head coach, Richardson has been influential in bringing New Yorkers Kevin Parrom and Lamont “Momo” Jones to Arizona. He also got the Wildcats involved with Queens guard Doron Lamb, who chose Kentucky, and Manhattan Rice senior forward Kadeem Jack, who is now planning to visit Kentucky and North Carolina.
Richardson previously turned down a spot on Steve Lavin’s staff at St. John’s.
