'grats _42, you've earned it. I can only assume that this thread was the impetus for the renovation. That looks like it's gonna be super duper elite. At first before I read the text I thought it was a joke 'shop you did like some people here used to do with BSFS where they put like 5 decks going up absurdly high into the sky. This is a great sign. If you make SB think your rendos are joke 'shops, you're doing it right. 
Honestly it was because the place is too small for graduation ceremonies and our president rammed through the renos so the athletic department just kind of used it as an opportunity to soup up what was once a massive dump. I'm super excited about it -- we haven't been really good at hoops since Wooly was here and if we have facilities that we can sell recruits on vs. the rest of the Sun Belt then that's huge. The interior rendos remind me a bit of the inside of the AT&T Center for the Spurs fwiw. Wouldn't surprise me if they used the same architect because TXST and the Spurs are pretty tight as organizations.
This is the look of a coach who knows the sole impetus for his arena's expansion is overflow crowds at graduation.
Rumor has it he's almost left a few times because our basketball program is a black hole that gets no institutional support. But hey after our first winning season since, uh

, I think he's gonna stick around and let things play out until someone better scoops him up. Or he retires, dude is 62 after all.
