Arizona State is on the hunt for a new men's basketball coach, and athletics director Graham Rossini is whittling down his list of finalists for the job. One such name is longtime St. Mary's head coach Randy Bennett. Here's everything you need to know about him.
Proven success without elite resources
When Bennett was first hired at St. Mary's, the program wasn't exactly known for basketball. The Gaels reached the Elite Eight in 1959, but outside of that they'd had two other NCAA Tournament appearances. They also had just four regular season conference championships and only one conference tournament title.
