New challenge? WTF? I know, you're new to MBB.....But, his major assistants Roan and Prioleau weren't holdovers (as A was) nor did they come in with him as part of a package deal. I'd say he's already answered the "Hire Assistants challenge" in a major, positive way.
Somebody mentioned that he will have people lining up around the block for the job. I agree. That's a change from the past. No need to get all bent out of shape over the comment.
I'm not "new" to men's BB. I just wasn't ever willing to invest any emotional capital before.

Both assistants served alongside Tad at Wichita State under Mark Turgeon. Proved to be outstanding choices but Tad didn't exactly go deep into his Rolodex to get them. This new task will require Tad to use his professional network and growing reputation to find the right fit for what I'm assuming is still going to be director of player development duties. Someone familiar and hopefully well connected with college basketball who can handle a desk job as they will not be on the road recruiting. I would love to get a sneak peek at his list of which candidates he has in mind.
always good to see former players doing well, I wonder if Chauncey will jump straight into coaching...
Someone (Vic Lombardi?) said that he wants to skip coaching and go straight to the front office when he retires.
Interesting, I always assumed he'd go the coach route having been such an effective on court leader in the latter part of his career.

Chauncey's talked about having a front office role since he was in the Nuggets draft room the year they took Ty Lawson. Chauncey'd be a great recruiter, and it's kinda been my hope that he'd come back to CU in some capacity once his NBA career is over with. But with Rodney here, not sure if he'd want to go that route, plus if a NBA team was willing to make him a GM, I'm sure it would pay more then what a CU job likely would.
Why don't you do like the rest of us and read the link in the OP?
