Working at a sports radio station has its benefits. After Randy Bennett joined the program on 95.7 FM The Game in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I asked him if he had some more time to talk Saint Mary’s hoops with me and he politely accepted (even after I told him I was a recent Gonzaga graduate). It took me a while to find some time where we could speak because he was on the road a lot, trying to recruit the next star for Saint.
Randy Bennett become the Saint Mary’s head coach in 2001. Since then, Bennett has turned a small private Catholic college in little-known Moraga, California to a Nor-Cal basketball powerhouse that contends for an NCAA Tournament bid every year.
