Randy Bennett’s Stunning Exit from Saint Mary’s: What Arizona State Has in Store Next
Advertisement
Bennett thrived in his first head coaching job, leading the Gaels to the NCAA Tournament 12 times and the NIT seven. Saint Mary’s .750 win percentage over the past 22 years is fourth nationally behind Gonzaga, Duke and Kansas.
He was the West Coast Conference coach of the year seven times and is Saint Mary’s all-time leader in wins with 589.
Saint Mary’s went 27-6 this season, reached as high as No. 21 in the AP Top 25 and shared the WCC regular-season title with Gonzaga, the fourth straight season the Gaels won or shared the title. Gonzaga is leaving for the Pac-12 next season, weakening the West Coast Conference and contributing to Bennett’s decision to leave for ASU.
