beyond coaches deal four games good great neat people relationships sophomore teams three time treated
The neatest thing for us is the coaches we get to deal with (that were in this) are all great people. We have relationships with them that go beyond basketball. To have three of the four Tri-Cities teams come in and play is a neat thing. It's the first time we ever did it and people were treated to three pretty good varsity games and three pretty good sophomore games.
bad board budget committee easy hearing sure task time
This is the first time the board is hearing this information. When there are budget constraints, it's never an easy thing to consider. But a committee or task force, I'm not sure that's a bad idea.
continued front group kids looked next numerous past program seniors step time took
These kids didn't take shortcuts. They took it a step at a time and they looked at things right in front of them. We never say good-bye to our seniors. Basically, we say, 'until next time.' Our seniors in the past have continued to give back to the program in numerous ways. I don't see this group being any different.

bit convert created far good hard job meeting night talked value work
We did a pretty good job of converting those turnovers into baskets. Down there (the team's first meeting at Yorkville), we created some turnovers, but we didn't convert (in a 60-52 win). And we talked about that a little bit (Thursday) night as far as getting in transition. You work hard to get the ball, so let's value it.
fair worked
Everything I ever worked for is right in this house, ... Fair is fair, dude.

Bill understands the important role of the KGS in the research and service missions of the university and is working to build closer ties with the rest of the campus. He recognizes that all public service at KU begins with teaching and research and has provided outstanding leadership the past two years and made excellent hires during the interim. Thanks to his efforts, the KGS is in a strong position and poised to be of even greater service to Kansas.

Very intense. I thought both teams played their hearts out in a very charged atmosphere.
investors looking meeting might months second three
You have to show your persistence. Investors are looking for that persistence. You have the second meeting and keep talking, and three months later, they might write a check.
ball defensive effort maintain nights shoot shot
We shot the ball well and that makes everything a lot better. There's going to be nights where we don't shoot the ball well, and hopefully, our defensive effort will maintain us.
