His high level of energy is infectious. I'm so confident we have the right guy.
He just thought that he needed to stay at Gonzaga so he's withdrawing from the search.
His plate's pretty full right now. He's not hurting for opportunities.

It's unbelievable. Our ticket sales are going like hotcakes.
I have several other candidates that are good prospects, so onward and upward.
I love how Mike has built up programs at Montana State and at Eastern Washington. I love his passion, I love his energy and I love that he's an ex-Vandal.
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.
Sometimes you can go through the process and realize the best candidate is right under your nose.
