As in the past, search committees and interested officials from other programs with openings for a head basketball coach have initiated contact.

I have not scheduled any interviews with any other institutions.

I'm doing the things I believe in, and that's important. It's not always an easy task in a changing environment.

I feel like I've been able to do that.
