We completely lucked into Coach L. IIRC, he sought us out because he wanted to finish his career in the ACC. It would be kind of like Bill Snyder contacting Blake and saying he wants the job. Ironically Butch might be the closest parallel.
Can't possibly overstate his importance to our surge in basketball. Reminds me a bit of Ron Fraser's work with baseball back in the day. Enjoy it; this doesn't happen very often.
