March 5: 4 leave for the NBA. No surprise.
PF Rob Loos #8, PG Jeff Andt #9 on Norton. Neither is going pro.
March 12: We win the A10 easily. 32-0, 18-0. #1, #1.
#1 in the East.
March 19: Won our 1st 2 NCAA games, by 44 and 32.
March 26: Beat URI by 44, Seton Hall by 33 and we’re back in the Final Four. My toughest job is convincing my guys they need to play hard, not just show up. I have to convince myself of that, too.
We sign a PG. He’s a gamble but we need players. Still chasing an SF.
April 1: 89-64 over #4 seed in the Midwest, Louisville.
It’s #2 seed in the South Ohio ST, 31-5 for the title.
April 3: 76-54 over Ohio ST and a fourpeat! We got into foul trouble so the bench took over, scoring 33, with 18 RBs. We won’t be as deep next year but we’ll be tough.
April 4: Awards: Rob Loos is Final Four MOP, Mel Shep is Def. POY, Rob and Jeff Andt make 2nd team All American. Guess who’s national COY? Yep! In conf. Rob is POY, frosh OY, Mel is Def. POY. Jeff, Rob, Mel, and Greg Rodd make 1st team, Kris Payd and sub Gee Ford make 2nd.
April 9: I’m not going anywhere. I am pretty impressed by the schools that called though.
We sign the SF. He's another gamble.
Dave did something as a middle school coach that he never did as an NCAA coach. He signed a shoe contract.
“Hey, NiBalFoot gave me $2 million a year for 5 years. My family’s all set now.
I’ve resisted so far. Jean and I are all set up for a comfortable retirement. Dave spent so much on May that he really wasn’t.
April 23: I ask for a facilities upgrade. Got it. A+ facilities. Shay Span is the first player in NCAA history to win 4 national titles.
My record for the season is a perfect 38-0. Lifetime, 63-5, .927 (although those 25 and 5 don’t count officially).
