He has coached some of the best that ever played,” Ayers said. “I have always respected Bob (Bender) going back to when he was a head coach at Illinois State and (the University of) Washington, and I am excited about having him return to our staff next season. Chris (Jent) was one of my favorite players to coach at Ohio State, and he has a tremendous work ethic. And Frank (Zanin) has worked tirelessly for us the past three years, and I look forward to his continued contributions.” Ford, 54, has served as a head coach with the Boston Celtics (1990-91 to 1994-95), Milwaukee Bucks (1996-97 to 1997-98) and L.A.

Bender’s 1998 Husky squad, which featured Sixer Todd MacCulloch, posted a 20-10 (.667) record that marked the school's best winning percentage since the 1985 season. A 1980 Duke graduate, Bender served as an assistant coach at his alma mater under Mike Krzyewski from 1983-89, before beginning his four-year head coaching tenure at Illinois State (1990-93), where he helped the Redbirds earn two Missouri Valley Conference championships one conference tournament title and a trip to the 1990 NCAA Tournament.
