00:00 Joined by 5th and coach Brian Michelson.
00:03 One of the special things about this,
00:04 and you know this and you've been a part of it,
00:06 is the importance of family.
00:08 And that's the basketball family,
00:10 that's the importance of your personal family,
00:13 and then the combination of those two.
00:15 But I was still pretty new in coaching
00:17 and I didn't quite know what I was getting into
00:19 or what I was doing.
00:20 That was really early in my career.
00:22 We were fortunate enough to bring Donnie in that year,
00:24 and Donnie was such a great person
00:27 and had so much experience
00:28 and became such a great mentor to me.
00:31 Have coach Barsh bring some of those things
00:33 from his head coaching from Boise,
00:35 and then obviously from Florida State.
00:37 So he has head coaching experience,
00:40 but at the smaller school you have to do everything.
00:42 You have to do fundraising,
00:45 you have to do alumni relations,
00:46 you have to coach,
00:48 you obviously have to recruit.
00:49 So he had a really unique
00:51 where he's had his hand in everything as a head coach.
00:53 He's run his own program.
00:54 (upbeat music)
