I saw a team photo of the Texas Tech team that eliminated ND from the tourney in 22. There were more non-players than players in that photo.
one year, there was a kid whose father was an assistant basketball coach for a local DI school. He was telling me all the various non-coaching positions on his basketball team including a masseuse, team psychologist, analytics position, an intermediary position that could be best described as a person that would communicate between the players and head coach if there was an issue. I asked him if it wasn't the role of the assistant coach to be the intermediary and he said "not anymore."
