There are a number of successful HS coaches who I suspect would prove themselves to be deserving if they were hired at a P5 school. Probably 80% of the college coaches today got there because of their career path. I'll take a guy who works there way up through the ranks any day over a guy who did two years as a grad assistant straight out of college.Likely true. Though he did follow Larry Brown as an asst for the Spurs after he left KU in 1988.
