Dalton PenceHOST
Some of the best performances that he had last season were in conference play.
Dalton PenceHOST
Looking at the Horizon League tournament, 18 points, 11 rebounds against Oakland, 26 points, 9 rebounds against Green Bay, and then... ending loss against Wright State 23 points and six rebounds didn't play well against the one power five team on the schedule played against Tennessee on November 8th had four points five rebounds something that's also pretty clear to me is that he has to do a better job of not getting in foul trouble maybe something that's going to help is that you're not asking him to play 30 minutes a night I think definitely more than half that, but most certainly not 30 minutes per game.
Dalton PenceHOST
So he's not going to be playing a ton.
Dalton PenceHOST

And one of the first calls I made after that was to a guy, to a guy named Ed Schilling, who's now the assistant coach at Grand Canyon.
Jamy BechlerGUEST
he's been at Indiana, he's been at Memphis, but he was the head coach at Wright State, and he had just gotten fired, and we knew each other, and so I had called him up to talk to him, he was the highest profile coach I knew that had gotten fired, and he actually sent me a book about being bitter or better, but he talked me through this book while we were on the phone, and then he sent it to me, and so...
Jamy BechlerGUEST
You know, I would like to think that there have been other people that would have spoken into my life if I hadn't called him.
Jamy BechlerGUEST
But I remember that conversation because he had been there and he was like, hey, you have a choice.
