I feel I needed to look at this opportunity at this point and time in my career. If offered the job, I'll have to make a quick decision.

Not being 'the guy' doesn't bother me. I can do what I really love to do, which is coach the game.

It was kind of a proud day, having Mac go to Iowa State and Ben getting the Northern Iowa job. They got their tutoring here. But, on the flip side, I'm proud of what they've done.

It's disappointing to lose to an in-state school. But that's the facts of life right now. We had some guys who just didn't show up. When we have guys who don't show up, we're going to struggle.

It was critical for us to win a game. Our seniors, Evan, Adam and Caro all played well. It was good our seniors could go out with a win.

All of our guys have all had their moments. We just need more of them having their moments at the same time. Right now, we don't have that edge, that emotion, you need to be successful.

North Dakota is not an easy place to win basketball games. I was proud to carry on from Dave Gunther and proud that we did it the right way.

I've put a lot of thought into this whole issue.

Credit Minot. They came here to compete and won the basketball game. I felt they wanted it more than we did. We showed a little life. Then, all of a sudden, we backtracked.

We didn't make enough plays. That's been the scenario of our season.
