UA likely to add preseason basketball event

It seems inevitable that Arizona will soon add another preseason event to its basketball calendar, keeping pace with those like John Calipari at Kentucky.

NBA scouts are not permitted to interact with college players, but nothing says you can’t make them comfortable and give them up-close access.
