There is a revealing story about Saint Mary's basketball coach Randy Bennett, told by longtime Gaels assistant Kyle Smith. Bennett and Smith were coaching at the University of San Diego, sharing a hotel room in Los Angeles before a West Coast Conference game against Pepperdine. Smith woke up in the middle of the night and saw Bennett -- still asleep -- standing on top of his bed with his knees bent and his hands out in a defensive "ready" position. The man who might be at the top of Oregon State's wish list as it searches for a new coach has been described as feisty, intense, highly organized, incredibly loyal to his assistants, and very deliberate when he makes important decisions.

A coach who mimicks basketball while he sleeps???... Makes sense... Seeing as Oregon State actually sleeps... While trying to play basketball
