1/11: 99-77. Up 10 with 10 to play in the 1st. Up 13 at the half. Yet another easy game.
44, 6, 3 for Baky. His man had 4, 3, 1. 17, 11 for Moby, who has been playing better lately. The injury he suffered early in the season seemed to linger for a long time. 14, 4 for Sulu.
+8 RBs, 12 TOs.
The difference was at the line again. This team hits their free throws, 90.9% tonight.
At #19 Stanford, 14-2, 2-1 next. Finally a ranked team! I honestly don't see anything that makes me think they beat us if we play our game. Their C is dangerous but we think Sulu can handle him.
Lu and I had a long talk about the future. We think we have a future together but it may be tricky to work out. I've decided that I want to stay at a school until I win a national title, stay there until I lose one, then move on to a program that needs a little building. Keep following that pattern. That means Lu would need to find a job at the same university or one nearby.
"What if I made you my #1 assistant and associate head coach?"
"Really?"
"Hell, the stuff you say helps me more than anything my assistants say and they're all really good."
"I need to think about that. I really like running my own program but that's an interesting idea. Not every A. D. Would go for a woman coaching men, and probably some kids would be hard to recruit with that in place."
"If they want me they get you. I can live with that."
