He led the Pioneers to a NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship/Division II national championship in 1986, and oversaw the transition of the program to the Division I level. He retired from the game on May 30, 2013, after a 35 year career.

It's an important part of the season. I don't want to say it's critical yet. If I have a choice — which I don't have — of when you want to lose three in a row, we're lucky it happened now and, hopefully, we can stop the bleeding.

We didn't play well enough to win. It was a situation of playing against the game a little bit. Foul shots is against the game. Open threes is against the game. LIU played well and they beat us, but we lost it, too.

(Assistant coach Johnny Kidd) put the keys to the game on the board before the game, which is important.

We can't let them play their up-tempo style. We won't be able to run with them. They are playing well, despite having lost three, 1,000 (career) point scorers from last season. They haven't really missed a beat. We need to slow this game down.

We forced ourselves to make more plays. We'd shoot ourselves in the foot, but I'm pleased with the way we made extra plays down the stretch.

We don't feel good at all right now. We had a chance to close out the deal and now we're giving someone else that chance. It's crazy. It's disappointing.
