Here's how he said it when he was hired
Q - You played at the national level and coached at a junior college and national level. Is that workable here?

Dave Rose - That's my goal. That'll be our goal every year. I remember the year we went to the Final Four as a player. We sat around and one of the coaches on the coaching staff came into the locker room and said, "Okay, this is our journey to New Orleans." That was the year that I redshirted. I was a part of the program but I wasn't playing. Sure enough, five months later, we were in New Orleans playing in the semifinals. The year after was my senior year and the assistant coach came in and did the exact same thing and said, "Hey, this year the road is to Albuquerque -- everything we do is to get there," and we ended up in Albuquerque playing for the National Championship. I think every college basketball program in the country sets that goal at the beginning of the year. Those are things that our players will understand. It's a great opportunity. I promise you that I will not be the one to tell them that we can't do it. That's the attitude that we'll take every year. We'll start practice every day trying to get to the city where the National Championship will be played.
