Arizona State hired Randy Bennett as its new men's basketball coach. Bennett is a Valley native and a highly respected coach. He led Saint Mary's to 12 NCAA Tournament bids in 25 years. The move makes sense for Bennett, as the West Coast Conference is losing its biggest brand, Gonzaga. Bennett is 63 and this was likely his last chance to take on a new challenge. He will face a tough task at Arizona State, which is a middle-of-the-pack program in the Big 12. However, Bennett has a proven track record of doing more with less and is a great fit for the school.
