It really sucks since it leaves us with one guard on roster

This is not a correct statement

2 bench coaches and an associate head coach

After coming down from the ledge and analyzing this hire, I think I get it. This is an ideology hire. He didn't hire Ben Johnson, he hired the idea of "Mr. Minnesota" as coach. 8 years ago, I believe Coyle (if he was the AD) would have tried to hire Flip instead of Pitino. From Minnesota...
