EUGENE, Ore. -- The first thing Dan Lanning notices when I step into his office is my shoes.

"You're wearing Reeboks in here, man?" he says, pointing at my Club C sneakers. Lanning, of course, is in head-to-toe Nike. He smiles. "Don't worry, I won't get you in trouble with anyone."

When he was a high school PE teacher and assistant with a desire to coach at a Division I level, it's safe to say Lanning never thought it would happen in Eugene.
