We desperately need a home game, and we're frantically trying to find one. |
We sincerely appreciate Coach Perry's passion for the game of basketball and his love and commitment to the University of Idaho. But we have decided we need to move in a new direction. |

We're disappointed Nick is leaving, but we are Vandals, and we support Vandals. We wish him the best, and we're moving forward. |
We're disappointed we're losing Nick. But we're Vandals, so we're excited about a Vandal getting an opportunity at the next level. |
We've identified a short list. ... We're already involved in the interview stages, and we're well on our way to having our coaching position filled in the next five to 10 days. |
What we want to do is bring someone in from a proven system and we want to bring someone in who could hit the ground running. We feel we have the nucleus of student-athletes here to be successful. We are not going to take a step back. |
What we've done in this process is been very thorough. We talked to NBA coaches, Division I coaches and my contacts across the country. The theme was that that we have a good guy right down the hall. |
You watch what Nick has been able to accomplish in one year, how much we've improved, and we're going to continue to get better. And I really like the direction that our basketball program is going. Eventually we're going to be a very competitive program in all our sports in the Western Athletic Conference. |
