Young, who has spent the past eight years as an assistant coach in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns, is tasked with rebuilding the Cougar program. Demin’s commitment is a significant step in that direction.
Demin has most recently been playing with Spanish power Real Madrid, and he took to Instagram to bid farewell to the club. In a heartfelt post, he expressed his gratitude to the club and its fans, saying that his time with Real Madrid had been “transformative.”
