"He got a pick today, so that was impressive on his first day," Hoosier head coach Tom Allen quipped after practice, then elaborated on Teegardin's hiring announced earlier in the week: "As we went through and brought multiple guys in to interview, and placed many, many phone calls, and looked at a lot of young guys with this experience or that experience, it came down to finding the best fit for us.
