Disagree completely. If you have a real shot at a good coach in the NCAA Tournament (like, for instance, WSU's coach Kyle Smith), I think a good AD waits to interview that coach.

Well, with any luck, St. Mary's will tank in the opening round and Randy Bennett will become available quickly, both elevating Stanford and returning St. Mary's to the mediocrity whence it came...

Why would Bennett leave St. Mary’s for Stanford?  It’s a better program, with great fan support.

He’s got a great  thing going at St.Marys.  I suppose if Stanford blows him away with the financial package it’s a possibility. But in all other respects, St.Marys is a better job.

1. Bigger challenge.
2. More money.
3. Nationwide platform.
4. More money.
5. ACC > Pac-12 > WCC.
6. More money.
7. Moving from St. Mary's Junior College to the single most prestigious academic institution on the west coast and arguably the most attractive academic institution in the country, and certainly the only one that mixes top-level academics and athletics.
8. More money.
9. Palo Alto > Moraga.
10. More money. He makes $948k, he's not even WCC average...seriously, the average is over $1.4 million. My guess is Haase makes 2x more than that.

He's 61 years old, and maybe he's comfy where he is. He's in decent shape and can probably coach another ten years. Why not at Stanford?

For number 7, Duke, Northwestern, and Vandy are similar.

His recruiting would likely change a lot, his current roster has

- Five international players, four from the Australia (all four went here https://www.australia.basketball/get-inv...excellence ) and one from Lithuania 
- Five players from East Bay high schools (two from Granada, one from Piedmont, and two from Compolindo)
