[Texas Tech athletic director] Gerald Myers called me in and said they didn't want me to leave, they wanted me to be the next coach.

I think my first realization of that was at Texas Tech.

That was a tough Texas Tech team. They fought and fought and fought.

We approached (PLU athletic director Laurie Turner) about it and she was for it. It's good for each of our programs.

During my 40-year coaching career at West Point, Indiana and Texas Tech, my teams reached the Final Four on five occasions, winning the national championship three times.

We were working on our doubles because we got swept there by Texas Tech and (we are) focused on concentrating on the game. As the week went on, we were getting better, but now we will see in Utah.
