In two short years Childress has helped put A&M back on the map.
Personally, I am not convinced we were down long enough to ever be off the map. Irregardless, one year removed from "one of the worst years our program ever had", Childress has our boys in a super regions and two wins from the college world series. Even while were were in the midst of "the lowest of the lows" $Bill remained "adamantly confident" because he "worked with [Childress] for about six years at Nebraska".

As a basketball guy, I read that and think of Turgeon. $Bill and Turgeon worked at Oregon together. Quotes/results like this give me confidence that our basketball team is still moving the the right direction. Lets hope we don't have the same growing pains on the hardwood.

yeah I had doubts too with Chidress...awful year last year and turned it around when he had to...the post season...even the regular season I think many had doubts... a .500 confernece mark...but he has paid off...I think the program was "down" but not off the map...just under the radar...yes it will be very interesting to see how the hoops team perfoms under Turgeon...two years to install the system...there has to be some growing pains....right???alot of good talent back....
