So far it has not exactly been smooth sailing. Damon Stoudamire was not lying when he said this was not on his radar when he got the call from J Batt to interview for the job and he is off to a slow start hiring staff. I know of four guys who have turned him down now including an HS coach in the ATL, an assistant at a nearby high-major team that was in the NCAAT, and Pershin Williams.
I'm sure he is still working to put together a staff, but this is a guy who was out of the college game for a little bit and was for many years isolated at Pacific where there is zero overlap on staffing. So he is having to figure it out on the fly while still working the portal and using the remaining support staff to help do stuff. Not exactly ideal.
Keep the thread on topic, I locked the other one.
