Let’s be real. WW will be working with the team all week. Where we’ll see the coaching disparity is in the in-game adjustments. Even there, we have great X and O assistant coaches

Make no mistake. Wade is very much scouting and surreptitiously communicating with his assistants and players. This is HIS team. He put this all together and is a basketball junkie. He's not just hanging out by the pool while his team sits two wins away from the Final Four.

Also, Benford is just the figurehead. Heir and Armstrong are doing the heavy lifting on the scouting/X & O work (as they have all season). To his credit, Benford hasn't taken any sole credit for the last 4 games. While he may have the HC title, he acknowledges that he, Heir and Armstrong are essentially co-HC's at this point.
