It is kind of fun to see that kind of interest. When we came to the airport, those guys were standing out at the hotel. I think it was 24 hours a day with someone at the arena. |
It is pretty unique. They probably have all the Texas Tech tapes, and know what the different personnel does. |
It's been a great move for Texas Tech. The benefits have far exceeded anything we could imagine, with the exposure and the national attention that we've gotten. |
It's the close of a great era, a great chapter in Texas Tech athletics. |
She's been a leader in women's basketball for a long time. It's a close to a great era. |
She's leaving a legacy of one of the outstanding programs in the country that we hope to continue. |
The first time I talked to her over the phone, and before I met her, I was thinking this is the person we want for this job. To be honest, we didn't go much further. |
The N.C.A.A. wanted to make sure that they had to be qualified, and they couldn't be recruited. |
The players can feel comfortable in that they would still be part of the program as far as why they were recruited. I think that now he will have a bigger interest in the players he's evaluating, not only trying to evaluate for his dad as the head coach, but also looking at it from his own perspective. |
The revenue that he's generated, personally and with the basketball program, it's not only helped us in basketball but helped us in other programs as well. |
There have been national media outlets on our campus that have probably never been here before. We're on television more than ever before. |
This is a real positive opportunity to help the Tulane athletes, ... It bonds you with Tulane University. |
We built this gym for 15,000. I don't think it'll be big enough. |
We did quiz her quite thoroughly to make sure she wanted to do this. It's the close to a great chapter in Texas Tech athletics. |
We won't be able to issue any statement or have any comment until we've been able to review it all. We've been looking into it for a few days. We still have some work to do. |
