      "He tells people when he recruits new players that he wants guys not with star egos but players “who are already over themselves."

      This was my favorite part! Basically....no pre-madonna's. They can go to NC, Duke and Kentucky. And my guys will still have enough in them to beat them!!! Remind me again who were our last two losses and how many points combined did we lose by????? Yeah...I'll take coaches recruits on my team any day!!!! Way to go Coach Marshall!!!!!!!!!!!

        If we weren't already impressed enough with HCGM the stories in the last few days make me so very proud to have him here.

        Basketball was a very different sport before the Material Girl was on the scene.
