BB Staff: Woodberry, Ballard, & Bauman (DOBO) join from Tulsa; Battle/LaRue Out
Sure it's a risk. There's no such thing as a no-risk hire, realistically.
I think it's noteworthy that our staff looks tremendously different than those of our rivals, when you consider age, playing experience, the elite level of that experience, and NC ties. Wake basketball made itself distinct through this hire and subsequent assembly of the staff. In its present condition, the one thing Wake couldn't afford to do was to fall in line and make itself look like everyone else. The staff is inexperienced, yes, but anyone worth their salt has overcome inexperience at some point. One man 'a inexperience is another man's energy.
