" This is pretty heady stuff for me. But this was a dream I had since we brought our team down here I believe it was 1992. We've won the Alaska shoot out came down here to play. And I could not believe the environment. And at that point I said. I'd love to coach -- on day. This decision for me. Was extremely hard and and let me address. The people on Memphis. It wasn't coming here this was -- it was leaving Memphis. The support that my family and I proceed. Over the years there. From doctor Raines who. Worked here to university. RC Johnson and all the people and fans and the friends that we had to -- back in Memphis. The players. Who perform. And you watch them over the years it's such a high level that's why I'm sitting here because of those players. And to walk away from that was very difficult. We took over you max there was a 15% graduation rate where we left it was eighty. -- University of Memphis we took over. It was a 0% graduation rate. For six years don't want to graduated. -- it mentioned nineteen of our last 22 seniors will graduated in May. It's important to me I met the team this morning. I said. If you don't go to class if you don't want to do that tutorials if you don't want to treat people right. We will meet when -- come back we'll figure out where you're gonna go. I wasn't mean about it I was just matter of factly that's how we do things. Among regular guy folks I do not walk on water I do not have a magic born on -- today. I told doctor Todd admits if you want something to happen any year. Do not hire me. That's not how I do things but we get it right. You notice what number one in the country were number one seeds were played in final fours when you get it right."
