Dollar accepts UC Irvine offer for assistant coaching position
Monday, 7/21/97 Dollar accepts UC Irvine offer for assistant coaching position BASKETBALL: Former Bruin brings invaluable expertise to Anteaters
By Stan Johnson Jr. Daily Bruin Senior Staff Cameron Dollar, former UCLA point guard and a member of the 1995 Bruin championship team, recently accepted the assistant coach position at UC Irvine. In last week's paper, the Daily Bruin printed that Dollar will be coaching at Pepperdine University. That information was wrong. It has been confirmed that Dollar will be an assistant coach for UC Irvine's mens basketball team. While former teammate Charles O'Bannon will be playing for the Detroit Pistons, Dollar was not drafted and decided to accept the coaching position at Irvine. During his tenure at UCLA, Dollar's contributions to the basketball team were impressive. In his senior year, Dollar broke the Bruin single-season steal record with 82 steals and finished the season with 451 assists. In addition, Dollar helped the Bruins reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Championships. At UCLA, Dollar ranks ninth on both the career and steals list, behind former NBA great Bill Walton. Cameron Dollar will certainly be a great asset to UC Irvine's basketball team. His work ethic and knowledge of the game should make UC Irvine a force to be reckoned with. One thing is certain: Dollar should be able to tutor the Anteaters' point guards in his specialty -- saving the day with last minute game-winning shots.
