Ex-UA coach, Hall of Famer LaRose still making moves 

Rick LaRose, who coached Arizona’s men’s and women’s teams to NCAA championships in the 1990s, is still at it. The Hall of Fame golf coach was in Melbourne, Australia, last week to coach a two-man American team in the Australian Master of the Amateurs. One of those LaRose coached is Aaron Wise, a sophomore at Oregon ranked No. 8 in the world amateur standings.
