Bob is a great coach and a great mind. Best of luck to him as he jump starts his career. He will be just fine. And, he is still quite young in the overall scheme of coaching careers.

Hope he does well at the most possessive school in the country....Where everything is 'mine'...;)

Benson was once considered a hot up and coming coach. He was a finalist for the Lafayette job is 1999 that went to Frank of course.

He was also in consideration at Princeton around the same time.

Benson is only 42 and will return to Division I at some point. For all the heat he took after a 4-7 season in 2005, Georgetown's defense was ranked in the top 25 that year.
