but it's really buying it into women's basketball.
00:03
And they said yes, and they backed it up which way along the way.
00:07
Now when I got there, that first year was a lot harder than anything I'd ever experienced
00:11
because when it's not a winning culture, it shows up at different times in different ways.
00:16
It's not bad people and it's not people not wanting to win, it's just you don't know how to.
00:21
And so I really felt like that game was significant because we weren't a great team that year.
00:25
But to beat the number two team in the country, I couldn't get recruits at that point to choose us
00:32
over the schools in the Pac-12 that were better than us at that moment.
00:35
But then eventually I had to get people that were willing to see the vision even before we were good.
00:41
And so I just think there's been so much work that has gone into the infrastructures
00:47
that then when we could get the talent and all the pieces and the people here committing to the culture stuff,
00:54
then we were ready to go.
00:55
So I don't know a time frame, maybe faster than what people thought,
00:58
but to me like the work that went in to build it and then the right people coming
01:01
and the people investing in it every day, it kind of feels like where we were supposed to be.
01:06
This is where we wanted to be.
01:07
And we now feel like disappointed that we didn't take this step this year, but obviously, you know.
