“I don’t know the specifics of how it went down. It was so long ago, it was around this time. The preseason was over in that year, which I don’t know. I got cut around this time and packed all my stuff up and drove back from Indianapolis. I came back to Athens, and didn’t really have a job or a plan. I was going to talk to some people about some finance jobs. He just called me in and said, ‘Look, I’ve got an administrative assistant.’ It’s not even a graduate assistant. Those were all filled, and they were already into the first game. They were in the second game. He said, ‘Look, you can be an administrative assistant, come in and work. We’ll put you to work, find a role for you, and you’ll help recruit.’ I didn’t have much going on, so I drove in and did it for the season. I think it was right until Y2K. It was ‘99 to 2000. I spent a year doing that, and I learned a lot about breaking down tape and just the things you have to do that are not the glorious things to do at coaching.”
