Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
What was Christen's role? Was he a full assistant? Do we have room for someone like Tyson or is this more of an entry level assistant/GM role we'd be backfilling? He started as director of player development but was elevated to an assistant before last season I believe. I think that move coincided ...

Coaches value has gone up.
If you have a mid-major that makes the tournament with a large nucleus that are underclassmen then expect the coach + those players to be packaged by the coaches agent when high majors are looking to fill their opening.
