You watch what Nick has been able to accomplish in one year, how much we've improved, and we're going to continue to get better. And I really like the direction that our basketball program is going. Eventually we're going to be a very competitive program in all our sports in the Western Athletic Conference.

His high level of energy is infectious. I'm so confident we have the right guy.

I love how Mike has built up programs at Montana State and at Eastern Washington. I love his passion, I love his energy and I love that he's an ex-Vandal.

They've done a wonderful job here. We're doing everything we can to keep our current assistants on staff.

Sometimes you can go through the process and realize the best candidate is right under your nose.

We are obviously thrilled. We have been searching for some time for a league that will provide us with what I would call geographic integrity. That geographic integrity does several things for us.
