I still remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. I spent that day with Bill Cords, Tom Crean and others planning "The Al McGuire Center" until the events of that day took over our lives. Prior to that day, I had seen Cords in various settings and frankly he never impressed me. That day with everything going on, Cords heart really cut through and I sensed he could be a pretty special and very genuine guy. I further witnessed the relationship he fosterd with Crean. Given he was front and center on Tom Crean, Buzz and now the WOJO hiring, I think he is pretty darn epic regarding the positive impact he has had on MU athletics and the MU national persona. I want to make sure we give this gentleman some credit, I think it is deserved. Amazing what the right coaches can mean to a University. Can't wait to get my WOJO MOJO T-Shirt!
Agreed - though didn't really leap off the podium as page public speaker. Three home runs in a row, it would seem!
Cottingham hired Bart, no?
