Austin turned out to be a blessing. He can shoot the 3, create his own shot off the dribble and is in great condition. He has been in a lot of big situations in tennis that has helped him in basketball. Nothing bothers him. |
He got a lot of those points just by getting down the court. His style of play is fast. If we can get him running, he can get hot in a hurry and that's what we saw in the first half. |
Maybe we ran out of gas a little bit. A lot of those 19 losses have been just like this. We had a great first half. We were hitting well and getting a lot of good looks. In the second half they stepped it up defensively. The score doesn't represent the closeness of the game. |
Our faculty is more into it than the students. |
When I looked at his resume and talked to the people who know him from a football standpoint, I think he's ready to be a head coach. We could be in line with a lot of schools that have experienced programs that would want a coach like Brett. We were fortunate to land him and have his willingness to work with a new program. I think it was a blessing. |
Whether this will increase interest has yet to be seen. |
