Very impressive indeed but your inability to put away that PIT championship must haunt you!

 I won the DII national title (Smith World) with Kentucky St. yesterday.  I got an Email from my assistant coach, the insufferable Trey Goins.

"Just wanted to let you know that I know the inquiries are coming in already and you'll probably be leaving soon. Don't worry about us, I'll do my best to continue your dynasty as head coach - jump at the first opportunity that looks good".

I also got a congratulatory Email from the college president, Dr. Nicholas Conner. That must be a new wrinkle. I don't think I've received that before after a NT win but I haven't won in a few seasons.

That is cool.  I commend you on your ability to stay with one school that long.

I've been in Iba since it started. But I didn't join Naismith till it's 2nd or 3rd season. There are probably coaches who've been there from the start

al, that is one darn impressive resume you have built there.  You and spas have both been around the Heartland conference for a long, long time and you guys have done a tremendous job there.  You two have 2 of the finest dynasties in HD.  I'm sure I will get the pleasure of having my teeth kicked in by spas in the Final Four tonight.
