It's a done deal. Glad for Bruiser. He has been supportive of the program as has Cal.

I still love watching that clip. I wonder if Bru and Miller fully reconciled from that, because it was a pretty spirited discussion in full view of the cameras.

Too bad those two...and Tony Barbee...couldn't have stayed at UMass.

Seems the folks at Indiana liked him too unless they are just being Midwestern folksy. Really enjoying all the UMass talk out of Lexington. Glory Days.

Those teams with Monty Mack and Lari were a lot of fun to watch though.

Those teams were not that fun to watch, unless you are a fan of grind ‘em out defensive struggles, but they were competitive. Monty had to run off 4 to a million screens every offensive possession.
It was soooo boring... watching Mack run around the court off the ball getting picks and then shooting 3's. The offense was very one-dimensional as I recall.
Monty running the baseline off picks jacking 3s was the offense. Oh and Micah Brand forgot he was 7’ tall and just camped out beyond the 3 point line all day long. My undergrad days, that was rough to watch.
