From what I understand, it was pretty tough being on his teams, too. I think I only over-lapped him by a year but I once heard a UALR coach say "you wouldn't want to play for that guy" in a sort of recruiting sense (to someone neither school was really recruiting, except maybe as a walk on).
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Louisiana Tech advanced to the C-USA Tournament Finals on Friday by outlasting North Texas in a 42-36 defensive slugfest inside the Ford Center at The Star.

We beat UNT at their own game and I think Konkol deserves the credit. You can't run and gun against UNT - you have to play unbelievable defense and hit shots whenever possible. It looked UGLY on tv, but was exactly what was needed. Today we need to out athlete UAB, though. Different game entirely! I am hoping UAB's tough win wore them out last night. I would be happy if we could find a way to slow down Walker. That guy is magic with the points in clutch time. We have to have everyone play perfectly to pull this one out. It is tough to beat a team 3 times by a narrow margin in a row. Today is going to be our day to shine!!!!! Way to go DAWGS!!!!!!!
Konkol did coach well last night. Champion, those athletes of our u speak of are primarily bench quantities. They need a LOT of minutes tonight.
