Message: [QUOTE="NJHoops, post: 5320118, member: 8779"] Leading your own program is obviously a goal for a lot of assistants, and Kimani and Luke have both talked about that. But, being an assistant is almost perfect. In general, assistants get a lot of credit when things go well and none of the blame when things don’t. It’s even better at UConn, where they get a lot of leeway to trial some things. They also have a head coach who is confident enough to explicitly share the credit and make sure other programs know his guys are ready to run one. They’re also really well-compensated, which certainly doesn’t hurt. After the 2023 championship, the common refrain was hope you enjoyed this group because there’s no way they’re sticking together. Now, two plus years later, things are so unsettled in the game as a whole that it makes sense, for now, to stick with a good thing. [/QUOTE]
