What Does This Mean?

Reactions have bounced from jubilation to slight disappointment. It’s a solid hire considering Avalos stayed in the family. Statistically, Hamdan hasn’t had many explosive offenses throughout his coaching career, but he has been around the block despite his age.

Would I have loved someone like Ryan Dinwiddie or Mike Sanford?

Yes.

Is this a bad hire?

Absolutely not.
