The Tokyo Apache would give the fledgling bj-league a major boost in respectability by bringing in a former NBA head coach for the first time.
The Apache, coming off a 22-30 season under now-fired bench boss Motofumi Aoki, have offered the job to veteran mentor Bob Hill, hoop insiders have told The Japan Times.
Call it a big, bold move by new Apache general manager Conor Neu, who is busy working the phones from Los Angeles as the team moves forward with its plans for next season.
