Utah men’s basketball head coach Larry Krystkowiak has announced the addition of former Runnin’ Ute Chris Burgess to the program as an undergraduate assistant coach.

Burgess transferred to the University of Utah under head coach Rick Majerus. However, Burgess suffered a number of injuries that limited his productivity. After a solid start to his senior season, Burgess tore his right plantar fascia vs. Texas, forcing him to miss the remainder of his senior year.

At the point of his injury, Burgess was leading the Utes with 13.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 66 percent field-goal shooting while averaging 25.5 minutes a game.

Burgess suited up for the Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards from 2002-06 and then also played professionally in Turkey, Australia, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, the United Arab Emirates and Poland over the past decade
