Very good interview and information. One item to note is Anthony keeps talking about "building a culture" here at UD. I am of the opinion that culture matters; it keeps everyone marching in the same direction. I could not be happier with the direction of the program under Anthony. He is "class squared!"

Seconded. As a TRUE fan of a team, doing things the right way is every bit as important as W's and L's. Can you say that about 95% of fans of UNC,UK etc....?

While I agree with the approach AG is taking and doing things the "right way" is important. It is not as important as winning. Should AG do things the right way and string together a few 14-17 seasons, the noble fans of the Flyers will be screaming for his head, and be looking for another coach to do things his "right way". As fans we are hardly different that avid fans of any school. Granted I would not like the program to be run like UNC or UK.

Coach has to do both-- do it right and get us into the NCAA's. It's why he makes 20x what most do on this board. It is a tough assignment, but that's what is demanded of the head coach of a historically good basketball program who is paid the going rate which is an obnoxious amount of money.
I think AG is up to the task. The journey has already been exciting, and is about to get a lot more exciting in the next season. OR, you won't want to read this board!!

It's also what is demanded of the head coach of a historically good basketball program that has issues as alot of mid-major programs do in recruiting and signing elite players that can walk out on a court and win games.
Naturally, that does NOT mean league titles, tourney titles, lasting success nor even multi-tournament game wins, as chemistry is vital to all teams, but certainly to a team in UD's position who is far more prone to have a team made up of four year players. That's alot of time for players to spend together so they better either like/respect the program and like/respect each other..

I always tell my coaches (granted it is high school level) that winning is a byproduct of building a good culture and doing things the right way.
