Alabama A&M assistant coach James Wright passed away last Wednesday at the age of 46.
“We’ve lost a great coach, a great man and a great person. I’ve known him since high school,” said head coach Willie Hayes.
From NBC Sports, “Wright was in his fourth season with the Bulldogs, joining the program after working with Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Wright, who played at Jackson State with Lindsey Hunter, according to his bio, came up on the AAU scene in Alabama, where he coached NBA players Mo Williams and Justin Reed.”
Details surrounding Wright’s death were not made available by the school.
