You can't build a program in one year or in four years. I want to be here for the long term.

Coach Self has been good to me, ... When he got there, we talked about the position (of assistant coach). I love that place. It's where I met my wife and got my diploma. That's what's really important. I've got KU all over my office walls. I love the place.

A lot of KU players played just as hard as me, guys like (Kirk) Hinrich and (Jerod) Haase, a lot of guys.

To show you the type of person he is, he said he would not pursue the job until I said it was OK. It shows the kind of man he is.
