New Arizona State HC Randy Bennett releases statement on health

On Monday, Bennett released a statement on the matter.

"Last week, when I arrived in Arizona, a health situation surfaced that I'm working through right now," Bennett said in a statement, per ESPN. "I'm in good hands, we feel good about the plan, and I'm incredibly appreciative of the care I've received from the team at Mayo Clinic. Everything is under control, and I will be back at full strength very soon."

Randy Bennett still building momentum at Arizona State despite health issue 

While Bennett has not yet spoken to the media, he has been working on finalizing his staff.

He recently added Cal Baptist University head coach Rick Croy as an associate head coach. Croy just led the Lancers to the NCAA Tournament and their first-ever Western Athletic Conference tournament title. 

Joe Rahon will also be following Bennett from Saint Mary's. He spent the past five seasons under Bennett as an assistant and associate head coach at Saint Mary’s.

Despite the setback, Bennett wants ASU fans to know that the Sun Devils' men's basketball program is still chugging along full speed.

"What I want people to know is that nothing about our momentum has changed," Bennett said. "We are moving forward and I am excited to announce two of our associate head coaches, a duo I have a ton of trust in and who truly want to be at ASU. They both bring great experience, strong relationships, and real energy as our program continues to grow."
