Niko Medved sat to the left of Joe Parker during his introductory press conference as Colorado State's men's basketball coach 347 days ago.
The 27-minute session featured some of the jargon to be expected when a new head coach meets the public. But throughout the conversation, one ideal was obvious — Medved cared about culture.
He talked about it, media members asked questions about it and fans yearned for it.
On Wednesday following CSU's loss to Boise State in the first round of the Mountain West tournament, nearly a full year after that introduction, Medved sat to the left of a moderator and delivered his final thoughts on the season.
