Anyone who cares already knows about this, of course, but let's get a thread started so we can comment on the early days of his administration. The press conference yesterday was upbeat and positive, and Arnold (whose father was a pretty unsuccessful coach of this same team many years ago) said all the right things about being part of the community, about honoring Bob Nash and Riley Wallace, and about recruiting.
I don't agree with his wanting to build a running team, but that's more of a philosophical difference. Coaches seem always to want to say that because it's more exciting hoops and fans respond to it. I just don't think it's a good approach for college ball.
Whatever one thinks of the Bob Nash years, they are over, and it's difficult not to catch some of the optimistic vibe that the press conference generated. I'm looking forward to seeing what the new Coach Arnold can do.
