I get people are uncomfortable with a young first time coach who doesn't have a long head coaching history but I don't know hiring a mentor with the understanding maybe not with him but the management's and associate coach he will be fired doesn't sit right.
Especially with desperate coaches who would take any job. I like Bruce but he seems like the type who would take a job in Arizona just to stay coaching.
I'd rather have a coach who is selective a bit and pushes back instead of I'm coming pay me anything.
Conroy also said he wants to hire a coach he can grow with. I get the coaching cycle is short but I'd rather look to hire the the net Cooper, Bednar, Trotz type who have longevity.
