This becomes a reality to any mid-major program that succeeds. What I am talking about is holding on to good young coaching talent. Jim Larranaga's assistant and recruiting genius Chris Caputo has been talked about as one of the hardest working coaches in college basketball by myself and others. Take a look at this article the Washington Post had back in July 2008 about Caputo's 16 hour days on the recruiting trails over the summer.Gary Williams of Maryland has taken notice and has recently brought Caputo in for an interview to join his staff. Caputo's ties to the DMV area and New York has brought in many talented players for George Mason over the years, most recently Sherrod Wright and Bryon Allen. A lot of people thought it's been because of the Final Four and although that has played a part in young players wanting to come play for Larranaga it also has a lot to do with Chris Caputo's hard work.
