This is pointless because most assistants come from multiple coaching trees. One year as a grad assistant isn’t much. Kirby is legit but so many have multiple mentors and influencers.

It’s Kirby and Bobby else matter until they catch up to him.

Yeah, you can have coaches who belong to multiple trees, that doesn't mean the trees don't exist.
