The Daily Mississippian: You had three NCAA tournament appearances at Middle Tennessee State. What’s the secret to success for you?
Kermit Davis: Recruiting is the main thing. You know getting good players. Getting talented guys to play with toughness and passion. I think the biggest thing is that in our locker room everybody got great satisfaction from the success of others there. There was no hidden agendas, the culture was about winning and impact winning. Our leading scorers could score nine or ten points and we win and it still felt good. I just think that’s a culture that takes time to put into other locker rooms.
