As far as a letdown, I'd have to wait until I saw them practice or play a game. His one drawback seemed to me a lack of perspective. He never seemed happy or comfortable about any of the teams he coached. If is as though they could never please him and that maybe why he didn't coach as long as I thought he could have. It's the nature of the job.
Plays have to be run correctly.
Free throws have to made. This was his 25th year and 36th if you count his time as a high school coach. Mark, The state of Wisconsin owes a big thank you to Coach Bennett for the way he ran his program. At least he went out on his own terms. Also I believe that Mike Kelley will step up even more, providing emotional support and the intensity that will be missed with Bennett's departure.
