• Former Spurs coach Bob Hill was named the coach the Tokyo Apache basketball team in Japan and now he has added his son Casey Hill to the teams’ coaching ranks:
Former NBA coach Bob Hill couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work the bench with his son — even if it meant going all the way to Japan.
Hill accepted an invitation to coach the Tokyo Apache when the team’s American owners agreed to let him add his son to the staff.
“In the final analysis, them letting me bring Casey as my assistant was a significant reason,” Hill said. “To take your son overseas and coach with him in professional basketball is something that he and I will never forget.”
It was an opportunity Hill never had in a career that has included stints coaching the New York Knicks, the Indiana Pacers, the San Antonio Spurs, and the Seattle SuperSonics, as well as overseas in Italy and China. (source usatoday.com)
