Hope he gets the job

As a long-time high school basketball assistant coach (18 years), I hope Balanis gets the job. He seems to be an outstanding assistant and certainly has paid his dues. He deserves a shot at a head position. (I'm still hoping to get my shot at the high school level.)

On the flip side, I understand why he may have a difficult time getting a job. Why has he been an assistant so long? Is there a reason he been an assistant? Is he just cut out to be an assistant? I am no longer a high school assistant -- mainly because I was tired of being 2nd man. So now, I dropped down and have been a head middle school coach the past two years.

Still -- hope he gets the job.
