Former Arizona State assistant coach, Russ Pennell, has been hired for the same job by their rivals, the Arizona Wildcats. Pennell will replace former assistant and interim head coach, Kevin O'Neill, who is currently working for Arizona's athletic department. Pennell fills one of two assistant head coaching vacancies for the U of A. The other became open last week when assistant Miles Simon's contract was not renewed. Pennell worked at Oklahoma State under Eddie Sutton and at Mississippi until settling as an assistant for Arizona State from 1998 to 2006. Pennell will join Lute Olson and Arizona as they try to making it to their 25th consecutive NCAA Tournament, currently the longest streak in the country.
