[QUOTE="FatGreg, post: 1295350, member: 562927"] Right. Usually you have the grizzled X&O vet. One, I don't know if that's necessary, and two, I don't see why an assistant can't excel at both functions. Especially a rising star like Dennis Gates. Gates graduated from Cal-Berkeley in 3 years, has a Master's degree, and coaches basketball for a living. I know he's a big time recruiter, but why the heck wouldn't he be able to scout and gameplan? I think people are thinking about it too simplistically; an assistant doesn't have to be a good recruiter OR an asset on the bench. A good assistant will be able to deliver on both ends. [/QUOTE]
