Who's the last guy on the end of your bench?: Phoenix Suns Addition

Have you read :07 seconds or less? Are you a big enough douche to use SSOL in your online weblogging? I am. Jack Macullum wrote one hell of a good book. I used the OhioLink system at Oberlin to score a copy from Antioch College, even though they shut their academic doors 2 years ago. mantastic.

Anyhoo, get to know Igor Kokoskov.

Highlighted facts:

Prior to joining the Pistons, Kokoskov served as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2000-03 under then-Head Coach Alvin Gentry, becoming the first full-time, non-American assistant coach in NBA history. He also became the first European coach to hold a fulltime position with an NCAA Division I-A school when he served as an assistant at the University of Missouri during the 1999-00 season with current Milwaukee Bucks General Manager John Hammond.

Kokoskov, who was an assistant this summer for the Suns’ Las Vegas Summer League squad, has served as an instructor internationally in the NBA’s “Basketball Without Borders” program and has administered other clinics throughout Africa and Europe.

What a guy!
