We will not name a new coach until after the Final Four.

We certainly respect Nicholls' situation. For the last five days, both schools have been working on the travel logistics. Upon Nicholls' arrival and throughout their stay, we plan to show them the best in Hoosier hospitality.
absolutely chronic concerned hiding history ncaa overcome red stated
Is it (the NCAA trouble) a red flag? Absolutely. If it was a chronic history during his career, absolutely I would be concerned, and I'm still concerned as it is. And I had to overcome that, as did other people. But he (Sampson) stated it: He made a mistake. He's not hiding it.
basketball build coach continue energy ethic individual jack kindness meet point pride program rarely work
Rarely do you meet an individual with the energy, enthusiasm, purpose, work ethic and kindness that Coach Jack has demonstrated. Under her leadership, we will continue to build a women's basketball program that will be a point of pride and distinction.
absolutely basketball diamond hearing intrigued kept life passion people perhaps term
The term I kept hearing was that she was absolutely a diamond in the rough, and that intrigued me. She really has a sense of passion for life and basketball and a lot of times in our business, people become very stoic because perhaps you don't want to show too much emotion.

My charge was always to do this in a fair way and a confidential way. So I guess I'm not going to answer that because I don't want to get into a 'he said, she said.' I just don't do business that way.
ambitious competing fairly goals ncaa specific talked
I thought I was fairly specific when I talked (with Davis) about ambitious and achievable goals and competing in the Big Ten, and competing in the NCAA Tournament.
advised chronic coach history people red
We had conversations with people that advised us wisely. Is it a red flag? Absolutely, but it wasn't a coach who had a chronic history during his career.

Frequently, gifts of this magnitude go to naming buildings or to give the donor visibility on campus. But this is a very unique gift.

Basically we found tonight that our backup system wasn't nearly as fast as our primary system. That caused a slowness at the ticket window. I'm sorry for all of those who were affected, but I thank them all for making the decision to come to the game.
