This is a true statement. Some people are not aware of exactly what constitutes an offer. The only offer made was to Larry Brown.

Excellent presentation by those responsible. It was very surreal to see a living basketball legend, Larry Brown introduced as our coach. LB seemed very humble and grateful to be there.....I loved to hear him say that his focus is recruiting in and around DFW. The "practice, we're talking bout practice" comment was funny. I though it was a very classy move for Doherty to be there, not many guys would've done that. While JJ deserved a lot of criticism for the ASU mess, he get back in my good graces with what he did helping to get LB here. From all the comments I don't believe LB is our coach without JJ's help.

I felt like he was testing our (the audience's) basketball knowledge. Very smart, very tanned.

From SO and LB's comments, I believe attendance is priority one from all in the athletic department moving forward.

Good conference. I did laugh at the complete dodge of the question:

"Your contract is for five years … How long do you expect to here?"

LB: “I am really happy to be here …(60 second ramble about nothing to do with anything concluding with something about looking in a mirror) … I hope to be here a long time.”

yea, no....

Larry was great today, though. Iverson reference was money, as was the man to man stuff, and recruiting DFW. Good Stuff

I remember the Shumate-coached '93 loss against BYU.

Can't wait to get back to the big dance.
