He's done an incredible job about finding the right chemistry, finding the right knowledge and finding the right fit. He did a great job of background checks and just trying to cover all his bases.

I'm excited about having an opportunity to coach another position directly. It doesn't worry me in any way. ... I just want to be able to contribute my part and be an asset to the program.

Boise was the best fit for me. I'm going to be really happy. I can see myself being there a long, long time.

I was one guy who never wanted to leave Kentucky in the first place.

All you've got to do is give him a chance. He's a 7-foot high jumper, so not every ball's got to be thrown to him on the run. If he's got a mismatch on a corner, let the kid jump up and get it. And we work on how to throw the ball to give him that opportunity.

Those kids behind them have got to understand that they need to maintain that level. Because if they're not pushing (the starters) enough, then the door's never open for them to get through. But I think we've finally got eight to 10 kids who can do that.
