Arizona assistant coach Emanuel Richardson taking time away from program for health reasons

Arizona assistant coach Emanuel Richardson is taking an undisclosed amount of time away from the program for health reasons.

Richardson said in a statement released by the school Friday that it was not a life or death situation, but was important enough for him to take time away from the university.

Richardson has been a part of Arizona's staff since head coach Sean Miller was hired in 2009. He served as an assistant under Miller at Xavier.
