We have to realize that hiring assistant coaches and hiring head coaches is a completely different process. In my career I’ve only been involved in a comprehensive selection process when I was applying for a head coaching positions. As I head coach I never hired someone I knew I went through the applicants and Interviewed 5. That was 10 years ago things have obviously changed
