For those who don't know: he went to UConn and was a team manager. Calhoun and Blaney pushed him into coaching because they saw something in him.
From wiki:
Before graduating from the University of Connecticut, Daigneault served as a student manager for the UConn Huskies from 2003 to 2007 under Jim Calhoun. After earning his bachelor's degree in education, Daigneault initially intended to go for a master's degree, but was urged by Calhoun and associate head coach George Blaney to pursue an assistant coaching position at Holy Cross, giving Daigneault strong recommendations.

Congratulations, Mark.
Note to Dave Benedict, Dan Hurley, and the UConn Marketing and PR depts:
mention this a few times that Mark is UConn grad.

My former (post college) roommate and UConn alum @Huskyfan990411 was team manager with him for at least one year. UConn has its fingerprints all over basketball!

I think JC gets to claim him as part of his coaching tree.
