Had a chance to meet him today. I will try to alleviate any concerns people had about him not being a people person. I was walking around campus saw him and said welcome to MU and he asked me if I would walk for him for a bit. Awesome guy. Super charismatic, super genuine and interacted with me more in 5 minutes then Pilarz did in his whole tenure. Asked me what I liked about MU, what I didnt like etc. I was ready to rip out a check for him if I had money. From a students perspective an A+ hire based on first impression. Pilarz didnt impress me much when I first heard him during freshman orientation.

Was this after you asked him "Whats up with the coach"?

Avoided it but dropped hints saying how much I love MU basketball.

Stop wasting his time when he could be on the horn with Ben Howland!

Great interview.  I appreciate his no-BS approach to answering questions.  I was lukewarm on him due to the UWM resume but I think he'll be a great pick.
