We were a bit spoiled last time. Nate Oats was the obvious heir apparent and Danny White is one of the more decisive Athletic Directors I’ve ever seen.
Those two thing meant that Oats was hired at lightning speed as the guy who would take over for Bobby Hurley within 48 hours.
We at Bull Run had hardly got together a list of potential replacements for publication before the announcement was made.
I had assumed this was a similar situation. To me Hodgson was the obvious replacement to Oats. He was young, full of energy, had been in the program for four years, and did a great job with recruiting.
