Why would the level of their aspirations mean anything in regards to their ability to teach and coach the players that are in front of them?

I'd rather not have complacent coaches on staff.

I think it's smarter for a head coach to judge the value to the team of each assistant coach on his own individual merits rather than stereotyping assistants who don't aspire to be head coaches as all somehow being inferior to assistants who do.

I'm well aware that you blindly back KD on every decision he has ever made.

Imagination is sometimes confused with awareness. But it's certainly true that I back most of Coach Dambrot's decisions over most of the alternatives posted by fans who are unaware of all the circumstances that led to the decisions in question.

Taxpayer, I get it now that you were talking about Zips current assistants and not those who've already moved on to other schools. I don't know what aspirations the current assistants have. Generally speaking, not all assistant coaches actively pursue head coaching positions. Some are satisfied being an assistant to a head coach who they respect.

Plus, it could be that someone like McFadden may see his dream job as being the eventual heir apparent to his own former head coach at his alma mater. I don't know that for a fact but it is a thought that could be there.
