John Court

It would be a wonderful story if Arizona’s interim gymnastics coach John Court is hired full-time after the 2017-18 season. Court is the longest-serving assistant coach at McKale Center, with 20 seasons in the books. Only softball’s Mike Candrea, track’s Fred Harvey and volleyball’s Dave Rubio have been on the coaching payroll longer. Court has head coaching experience: He was the top coach at Vermont for three seasons in the early 1990s.
