I suggest the coaching staff undergo a facilitated teambuilding exercise, just to get the best restart for the group. There are some great resource folks on board at UM, but an outside resource might have an advantage. When the team finally comes on board, they might also benefit from such experience.
 
"Current assistant coaches Jordan Sullivan, Nate Covill and Jace Henderson also will return. The athletic department will conduct a national search for a permanent head coach next spring.

"I've really liked Mike ever since I got here freshman year because he has such passion and knowledge for the game," said Lady Griz starting guard Sophia Stiles, who has been at UM for three years. "He has a really good vision for this team and he's really into it.

"He always helped me with pre-game work, sending specific clips about the girls I'm guarding or clips of me doing different things. I have high hopes for this coming season. If I didn't, I wouldn't have stayed. I think we're going to surprise some people honestly."

"It's sad with my teammates leaving," Stiles said, "but I think we have the right pieces and we'll be pretty solid."

Petrino is the right person at the right time. Has experience at many levels and is respected by the team.
A lot of work ahead, but I am confident he can get it done.
