Rutgers Basketball: Was This Press Conference Different?

Today, on my lunch, I sat down to watch the new Rutgers basketball coach tell me about how--this time--things were going to be different.

And I immediately started to think about what stood out to me regarding the previous Rutgers press conferences. What stuck with me after all these years?

I remember Gary Waters talking about eating breakfast with the team and giving them hugs. I remember Fred Hill breaking down in tears talking about how this is his dream job. A very nervous Mike Rice saying he didn't have enough players to go five on five in practice and how his son was imitating Quincy Douby in their driveway.
