And so can you talk to us a little bit about that process of moving from assistant coach to head coach and just the things you actually had to stop doing?

Lin DunnGUEST
Well, DMACC, a lot of people may not realize I've been in this business for 56 years.

Lin DunnGUEST
I started back in 1970 as a head coach, coaching three sports and teaching eight physical education classes at Austin Peay.

Lin DunnGUEST
But during that period of time, an opportunity came around for me to be an assistant coach with the national team, the FIBA Cup team, the World Cup team, and the 92 Olympic team.

What were those challenges for you?
