Randy Bennett (St. Mary's College men's basketball coach) – Work Ethic Randy Freer (Fox Sports) – Both sides winning makes the best deals Tell us about how you landed a title sponsorship with Zappos when you were with the West Coast Conference. Following Randy Freer's advice/model Not the largest deal I've done, but the one I'm the most proud of. How do you approach hiring and putting together your team?
