Are we a basketball school the way Kentucky and Indiana are? Not yet. That's the goal. Will we get there? That's the goal 15 years from now.

That way when it's time to hit the ground once the season is over, you're already off and running. The timing is never ideal in a coaching change. I talked to former coaches, NFL GMs, television folks. I picked people's brains and checked out the Internet to find out as much as I could. Indiana has time to do that. I didn't talk to any school or coaches but did hire a consultant to gauge the interest for us.

I think to have that tradition that we want, to be recognized as one of the best, you have to have a few of those (championship) banners up there. That's what Kentucky has, Indiana has, North Carolina, Duke.
