Billy is mainly responsible for recruiting in the program. Since he was hired, our recruiting has improved. I consider recruiting is vital to a program's success, which is why he is still very important to our program even Billy plays a less significant role in game-planning and player development (we don't know much about him in that part of the job). Also, he's the only assistant coach-level staff member in the program that the players can consider as a big brother and I believe younger coaches sometimes can relate better to the players than older coaches. Billy might not be a head coach candidate right now, but down the road some schools might consider hiring him to that position.
Since you mentioned coach Schaben. I know she's responsible for coaching our post players and game-planning. Does anyone know she's involved in recruiting at all, especially the kind of post players we need?
