It had existed for four seasons, two seasons with, you know, a former Major League All-Star, Al Oliver, as the head coach, two seasons with, uh, a high school Hall of Famer who moved to the college level as the head coach.

And what-- I got the job because the, the head coach left, and I had been an assistant the previous year, and the school at the time was going to move to a non-scholarship division.
