"In this business, you get to know so many different coaches and get to know people who have worked with Stump, or he knows people I've worked with. We have mutual colleagues," Stefanski said. "I kind of know what he's all about. I like the way he teaches, I love the toughness he brings to our staff room, to our field. The proof is in the pudding. He had two really good players playing this year, so I think he's an excellent coach and I'm excited to work with him."
