Stubblefield was an assistant for 25 years. Tommy Lloyd was at Gonzaga for 20 yeas. Ben Johnson for 15 including 5 years at the school that eventually hired him.Ok so that still leaves Tony Stubblefield at DePaul (unless you count a half season as interim HC), Ben Johnson at Minnesota, Tommy Lloyd at Arizona who got first time HC jobs at different schools. Not that I expect that to happen for Kimani
Kimani's been an asst for 9 years.
Nike connections for Stubblefield, dominant program for Lloyd, AD familiarity for Johnson. They're definitely the exceptions.
