that goes beyond theory.
We are NOT a school & program that's gonna be able to build a competitive Big 12 team UNLESS we start taking some risks that we aren't normally willing to take.
Paying 5+mill annual for an NBA assistant w only a modicum of experience w college coaching — & ZERO experience as a HC — now, that's at least as risky as putting up 1+ mill to sign Jax would be, imo.
And I'm glad we took that risk.
