Greetings from Loboland, Albuquerque, NM. When I saw the news on ESPN I wanted to stop by and let you all know that you got a coach of high character, a great family man, and a true leader. His record here in New Mexico may not have been spectacular, but a lot of the recruits he brought to UNM didn't pan out (Joel Box, great talent, real head case, quit the team twice. Justin Bensen, 4 star caliber PF, quit after Freshman year because of homesickness. Lenny Miles, decided to play football.) That list goes on for days, but the fact is that the players Richie brought in have played hard and gone to class. The problem was that UNM fans really seem to have this deluded belief that we are as good as Kansas, UCLA, Kentucky, or North Carolina. Mind you the lobos have only been to 1 Sweet 16 in our entire basketball history . Coach McKay will be a great addition for your school. [/list]
