He loves to coach. Thats why he didn’t retire last year, isn’t retiring this year, and won’t retire next year unless he believes he can’t coach at the level required to win.

Bens is a great kid with a great family. He’s capable of being a great rotation player on an elite team. Even if Pack doesn’t return I think your first sentence is right. And I think L was honest with Bens.

Bens was attrition. Nwoko was a loss. L said all he could say in the press conference about the situation.

That’s what the portal is for.

I wouldn’t say that Bens wanted to portal out last year… he wanted a starting role. Things played out in a way that he ended up staying. I think this year he saw that it would be unlikely for him to have a starting spot in 24-25.

L definitely didn’t want Bens to portal… he’s a championship level rotation player. But I think L was honest with Bens… hence Bens in portal looking for NIL and a feature role.

I think Bens is portaling because his role as a starter next year was not guaranteed.
