For Star subscribers: The Blue Devils remain the last Tucson boys basketball team to have a perfect season after going 29-0 that year.
Greg Hansen Dwight Rees was the Star’s boys basketball coach of the year in 1977, 1987, 1989 and 1993 and he did so without the benefit of open enrollment, the resources of a private school or a suburban setting flush with the economic power for year-round, travel-ball team development.
“You took the kids from the neighborhood who walked through the door,’’ Rees told me. “Some years were obviously better than others. The challenge of coaching was to get the most out of your kids and make it a positive experience no matter how many games you won.’’ “Jermaine is a step ahead of everybody,’’ Rees said after Sunnyside won its closest regular-season game of the year, 77-72, in overtime against Tucson High, with Watts scoring 34 points.
But it wasn’t all about Watts. All-city forward Anthony Figueroa was a defensive stopper. William Sims averaged 14 points a game. Hector Montano, Quinton Guarzo, Jason Holmes and David Miller were productive pieces to what became a historic season, the last undefeated team in Tucson boys prep basketball.
He moved to Tucson, enrolled in graduate school at the UA and found work as a graduate assistant coach on Fred Snowden’s first McKale Center basketball team, which prepared him for his first head coaching job — at tiny Globe High School.
