I think this is real special that they're doing this for me. We won a lot of games and a lot of those kids turned out to do some darn good things. There were a lot of people to thank for that. I had two great presidents, a great athletic director and great fans. I just never realized how good I had it. |
I thought the whole world was like Midland College in those 10 years, and when I left I found out the rest of the world wasn't like that at all. |
It took about two games to get our swagger. We didn't know anything. We were like babes in the woods. It was funny to see our team change in five days. |
It's easy to find kids who are good and everybody wants. What's difficult is to find a kid who's better than he appears and know to go after that kid. We used to go after 6-(foot)-4, 6-5 post men we knew the big schools wouldn't go after. We would get good athletes at the post position and we always had a lot guards. |
That was kind of like walking in a dream. |
When you're going through something, you don't really appreciate everything that is happening until you reflect and compare it to something else. When I left, everything I compared in basketball I compared Midland College to it. |
