Sean's gotten stronger. He understands it better, so he's not out of position. He's guarded the best player some nights -- he's come a long way.
best dollars extra few gotten guys officials thousand top
It's a lot of guys we had that were our top officials that just went away because they could make 6, 7, 800 dollars more going to a different league. Our league's gotten so much better. There's so much at stake. You don't want to, for a few extra thousand dollars, not do what's best for your league.

It wasn't our best possession. They switched out and we couldn't get it to him ... we panicked.

In my heart, this is where I'm supposed to be. I told the players, I never pursue a job. I never have. I never will. I was just trying to do what was best for our staff and our basketball program.
best carried league lose matter ncaa practice pressure round wait
If you could have been at our practice the other day, the pressure is off. We had our best practice we've had in months. We carried that 23-year wait around with us. No matter what happens, if we go and lose in the first round and don't make the NCAA Tournament, you can't take that league championship away from us.

I don't know if it's a measuring stick. But I do know one thing: we're fired up to play a Big East school. It's the best league in the country.

They've got great players. Mac's a great coach, but you don't win without great players.
ad fans home kansas lost row run since state sure third took tremendous win won year
It's not a hump, it's a mountain. My AD knows. My fans know where we were when I took this job. My first year, we lost 11 in a row and I didn't know if we were ever going to win a game. My third year we were 3-3, and I wasn't sure I would keep my job. We lost at home to Kansas State and ever since then it has been a tremendous run to get where we are today. We accomplished something we haven't in 23 years, we won a championship.
I just want to get this out of the way: I'm staying.
