Warm welcome: About 1,000 fans cheer gold medalists | KUsports.com

I think 2009 was the last time anybody (from USA) played for a medal there, the bronze medal. The last two times we went, we hadn’t even got out of pool play, and these were (U.S.) Select Teams.”

Schools would be wise to learn from this messy Nichols-Memphis divorce - CBSSports.com
By denying Nichols what he wanted from the outset -- and then making it more difficult than it should've been -- Memphis turned what could've been a one-day story into an eight-day story, and the school came off looking petty at first and weak in the end.
