“I’m a Bruin no matter what forever.”
Though he was told he aced his interview with UCLA officials for their coaching vacancy, Watson seemed cognizant that he’s considered a long-shot candidate. He played in the NBA for 14 seasons and coached the Phoenix Suns for parts of three seasons, but he has no coaching experience at the college level.
“I never addressed why I left the Suns and it wasn’t because of the record,” Watson said. “It was a rebuild and a rebuild was creating a new start and the new start was [star guard] Devin Booker.”“That’s a question you have to ask ownership,” Watson said. “I was given notice in training camp. I was going to be out for sure. I was blown away, obviously.
Watson also attended one UCLA basketball game in January 2018, when he was made the team’s honorary captain. He says he’s come to realize the program has been devoid of a galvanizing presence since the death of legendary coach John Wooden in 2010.
