A small story about a coach.
This is a guy with no ties to UC or the Greater Cincinnati area. At age 28, he got his first head coaching job. It took him a bit of time to figure out his identity, but by his early 30s he was clearly a coach on the rise. He won 20+ games 4 straight seasons with a mid-major that had previously been very bad for some time. He even got them into the NCAA tournament, although he did not win any games there.
In his late 30s, still one of the youngest coaches in college basketball and with zero career NCAA tournament wins, but a passion for the game and a love of defensive pressure, he was hired at UC.
Today he is one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history, and UC's all-time wins leader.
Let's just hope Wes doesn't sleep with any booster's wives or vomit on a cop at a DUI stop.
