He was my assistant for seven years and after his fourth year we named him associate head coach. The thing about Fred is he's has a terrific basketball mind and he's an extremely hard worker.

He wanted to continue as assistant manager, but we had to put the good of the club first, and to that end he took over the youth set up; I felt he had all the qualities needed to make it a success.

He coached at the highest level as an assistant under Jim Calhoun, he took over a program and learned how to become a head coach, and then he came to the Ivy League -- and it really helps to know how to recruit and how it works in this league.

Here's what my CV usually does not say: I was trained as a teacher. My first job lasted less than 60 days. I was an assistant professor at a good college at Delhi University, but I found it very political, very suffocating. At the age of 23, you're not very tolerant of those things.

He's getting a lot of praise from opposing coaches and umpires. He's pretty much an assistant coach right now.

He is a good back, but we didn't wrap up. We just didn't make the plays tonight.

Hopefully by week 4 we are going to be better.

Joel did a great job as a graduate assistant here and has gone on to cut his teeth in the coaching profession. He's a detail guy with a lot of energy, and we're thrilled to have him back at Purdue.

Just remember to show some compassion. When you talk about firing a coach, you're not talking about how it affects one man. You're talking about how it impacts 14 families the family of every assistant coach. You're talking about 30, 40, 50 people and a lot of them are children.

Matt is a great fit for our staff. He is a young aggressive assistant coach who has been at two Division I universities that have turned around with his recruiting and coaching abilities. He was an integral part of the players landed at Denver and Middle Tennessee. He was a heck of a player in college who was a bulldog and he carried that into his coaching career. He has recruiting ties in the Northwest, West and Midwest.

Matt, of course, worked three years for us as a graduate assistant and I am well aware of his background and talents. I always try and keep an eye on young, talented coaches, and it was an easy decision to hire Matt. He'll hit the ground running with his previous experience at Northwestern and with me. We're all excited to have Matt back as a part of our staff.

Martha's personal assistant could be another key witness for the government.

I was honored to be named Coach of the Year. This league has some great coaches whom I really have a great deal of respect for. It is nice to have your peers honor you in that manner. However, the honor really belongs to the team. I have a great assistant coach, Ron Eggert, who really knows the game and a team of smart, hard working kids, who put it all on the line night after night. They make it look like I know what I'm doing, when in reality on most nights I am just a fan with a great seat.

He wants what is best for the team and doesn't have the attitude where he is better than anyone else.

I was proud of my team, staff and assistant coaches, it was a heck of a job. They were a good basketball team and put more pressure on us than Wisconsin. Our shooting and rebounding was very good, and it helps when we only turn the ball over three times in the second half.

We have received a variety of messages from North Korea in recent months and it seems to me that the general thrust is that they would welcome a visit by assistant secretary (James) Kelly,

Yeah. Allison Barber, Deputy Assistant Secretary, said, heres the part that I like. 'Okay, so lets work on that answer a little bit, Captain Kennedy.

A few smiles.' So-

We were working the whole time. We never quit. I mean, things got slow and we didn't have a lot to do. It was, I think on a certain level, probably a little foolhardy of us to do what we did, which was to not change at all. We didn't break up. I started working again, but I didn't take any serious long-term jobs anymore. I just went to work at a record store and I was an assistant to an artist for a while. I still wrote some freelance articles here and there. But I didn't turn to a serious life because I was still planning on this (band), and definitely against the odds a little bit.

We thought about it, ... One of our assistant editors did the dialogue that George wrote for him. It was one line. It was never during shooting, but in post-production.

You could feel that there was a presence of him there.

With three minutes to go, I told my assistant to ask that ref why he made that call.

With the new system we can have better programming and a better fall semester.

At my time at Hylton when I was assistant principal, I could see his intensity and the kids were well coached and well behaved and that caught my eyes then.

Every day I deal with the same 20 percent of students; as assistant principal (along with assistant principal Kara Cotton) I deal with discipline.

We were taken aback by it. She was our head coach for the past two years. It was such a shock to hear she was going to be out for that long. It's tough that he came in as an assistant and all of a sudden you're a head coach, especially at a program like IHA.

When we joined the NCAA, we could start doing more things. I had no volleyball assistant and (women's basketball assistant coach) Daniel Colvin was not on the campus except during basketball season.
