Surround sound

The Kolkata Knight Riders recently fired the head coach, John Buchanan (big surprise there). The more interesting revelation in the article deals with Buchanan's entourage, the size of which would probably cause even Vincent Chase to blush. And that's saying something.
... Buchanan's support staff, which included Matthew Mott (assistant head coach), Andy Bichel (bowling coach), Wade Seccombe (wicket-keeping coach), John Deeble (fielding coach), Brad Murphy (assistant coach), Michael Buchanan (strength trainer), who is Buchanan's son, Andrew Leipus (physio) and Adrian Le Roux (trainer).
It took 9 coaches to guide a team to the last spot in a competition. I wonder how many coaches it would take to guide a team to the top.
