Fair enough...if you got Marshall or someone of that ilk. You got a broadcaster, former NBA flameout. Who were you bidding against?
Marshall turned down a King's ransom to stay in Wichita were he and his family have been for damn near a decade.

Avery Johnson fits a need in the basketball program. He has former NBA experience, he is energetic and well liked and I believe he will do a better job than Grant.

Why should I care who UA was bidding against? I a fan/alum and supporter and I'm very pleased with the hire.

A very underratted but crucial aspect of this hire. To go from a guy like Marshall to Prohm or some other "up and comer" would have killed a lot of buzz being generated this offseason. AJ is a name that can get the fans fired up. That's huge. The AD doesn't necessarily have to sell the hire to the Fanbase
