Coach Snyder Getting Some Love...

Excerpt from a conversation with former Univeristy of Georgia basketball coach Hugh Durham...

Q: Does Georgia need to build a new basketball arena?

A: Two people in intercollegiate athletics changed the way people think about that. Mike Krzyzewski at Duke has proven you can build a program with an average arena, which is what Cameron is. And [football coach] Bill Snyder at Kansas State. The way he was able to win there in Manhattan, Kansas, just shoots down every theory about the role facilities play in building a winning program. Same thing with the Coliseum. It's plenty big and what they're doing [with the new $30 million practice and training facility] is needed from a competitive standpoint. That's just part of the arms race fueled by recruiting.
