In a season of great achievement for the Golden State Warriors organization, add this one to the list: Former Tokyo Apache assistant coach Casey Hill guided the Santa Cruz Warriors to the team's first-ever NBA Development League championship on Sunday.
The Warriors prevailed 109-96 over the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at Kaiser Permanente Arena to complete a two-game sweep.
"I can't tell you how happy I am to be bringing a championship to Santa Cruz," Hill, who led the team to a 35-15 regular-season mark, told the gathered media.
