Erin Hartigan got some time with David Beaty before his podium session. Asked about the adjustment to becoming a head coach, he said "You're drinking from a fire hose at the very beginning."
David Beaty, in his opening statement, claims the Big 12 sits in the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country. That seems a bit rash, but okay.
