Rowe is a former JMU player (and a great one at that) who&#8217;s had multiple stints as an assistant coach for the Dukes. He was one of Matt Brady&#8217;s assistants from 2010-2012. He also was an assistant under Dean Keener for the 2007-2008 season. After JMU, Rowe was an assistant at both Rider and Florida International University, prior to assuming his current role as a member of the Bowling Green coaching staff. He played for 2 years under Lefty Driesell after transferring to JMU from Florida. He was part of the CAA Championship squad in 1994 and followed it up by averaging 21.7 points per game as a senior.<\/p>\n<p>Ron Sanchez is currently Associate Head Coach at Virginia. He&#8217;s been a member of Tony Bennett&#8217;s staff for seven years.\u00a0He also served as one of Bennett&#8217;s assistants at Washington State prior to making the move to Charlottesville with him. As Bennett&#8217;s top assistant, he&#8217;s definitely got some credibility. Sunday&#8217;s second half notwithstanding, Bennett has a well earned reputation for coaching poised and mature teams. Sanchez has been with him for a decade and has tremendous experience helping take teams on deep NCAA tourney runs. He played basketball at SUNY-Oneonta, where he was the conference player of the year. The real question is whether Sanchez wants to make the leap to be a \u00a0head coach at a school like JMU or stick around and be a top assistant on a national contender.<\/p>\n<p>Two intriguing candidates. One with ties to the school and one with ties to a top tier coach.
