Justin Coleman has decided to stick around Arizona, posting on InstagramΒ on Friday that he's taken a graduate assistant job with the Wildcats for next season.
Coleman said on TwitterΒ that he would finish his graduate program in educational leadership this summer and begin Ph.D. studies in the fall.
"Iβve given so much to the game of basketball and now itβs time to repay that knowledge to someone else," Coleman wrote on Instagram. "Iβm grateful for the opportunity. My plan is to work on real estate, establish a business and be the best coach I can possibly be."
Coleman graduated from Samford last spring and spent the past season as a graduate transfer point guard for the Wildcats. He averaged 8.9 points and 3.8 assists while serving as a co-captain along with junior center Chase Jeter.
Josh Green's IMG team squeaked past Montverde in the Geico semifinals, winning on a dunk from former UA target Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.Β

Green had 12 points on 5-for-10 shooting for IMG with one rebound, three steals, one assist and four turnovers.
IMG will play for the Geico title at 9 a.m. on Saturday on ESPN.
By the looks of it, Green's future UA teammate Nico Mannion will be glued to the television.
