Former Arizona graduate assistant joining Sean Miller at Xavier.
Bruce Pascoe Considering Ryan Anderson's knee was shredded on a Lithuanian basketball court at the peak of his professional playing career, he was due for a little good fortune with the next step.
So already at age 29, Anderson has a resume that includes first-team all-Pac 12 honors in 2015-16, professional playing experience in four European countries plus the G League, and a season on Lloyd’s coaching staff. “That’s what I'm gonna remember most about this year — that from Tommy all the way down to me, we cared about the guys so much. I think that culture of love from us to them and then between each of the players, is what everybody saw out on the court. We were really connected and unified.”
As a support staffer at Xavier, Anderson won’t be allowed on the floor for practices except when fulltime coaches are on the road recruiting. Anderson said he hopes to fill the gaps for what the coaches aren’t able to do, as well as help organize the Musketeers’ recruiting efforts. And while he enjoyed his time on the practice court last season, Anderson says he doesn't have an itch to play again.“I’m pretty in tune with how my mind, body and soul feel and I knew that I was ready to walk away from it,” Anderson said. “I'll be 30 in December. It just wasn't the long-term trajectory of my life that I was looking for.
