University of Maine Head Coach Ted Woodward has promoted Mike Burden to Associate Head Coach. Burden is in his 5th year on the Black Bears staff.

Not sure what the rationale is here. They still don’t have a 3rd assistant (not to mention a DOB – which most schools in the league have). Wouldn’t it be a better investment to hire someone else to help out? It seems as if this staff will be spread very this this year. I’ll be curious to see how this affects recruiting….
