We are very satisfied with the level but always want to win and to do things
better.  Satisfaction is a relative term.  We are at a very high level.

(CHN) On a similar note, what do you feel about the current state of the NCAA?
Are there any major problems with the institution of College Basketball?

The NCAA has way too much power, too many beureaucrats and is totally out
of touch with the "common man" = coach and athlete.

(CHN) Do you look for specific players to take important leadership roles each year? Who do you expect to fill that role this season?

Yes: Jason Gardner, Luke Walton, Ricky Anderson.

(CHN) How do you feel about the newcomers to this year's squad? Who do you think will be a major contributor right away?

Great class.  Hassan Adams and Andre Iguodala are super.  Chris Dunn was
the sleeper in the Nation.  He's good.

(CHN) What are your reasonable expectations for this year's team?

A serious run at the national title.

(CHN) Is there anything else you'd like to tell Wildcat fans, and basketball fans around the country?

Get involved but consider safety issues!
