Well the reference is to Lee Rose and his leaving Purdue and coming to USF 37 years ago. But with USF basketball we take whatever non-negative mentions we can get.

 

That brings us to the curious case of Lee Rose. He took UNC Charlotte to the 1977 Final Four, but he only had three years of head coaching experience when he came to Purdue in 1978. After bringing the Boilermakers to the Final Four in 1980, Rose unexpectedly left for South Florida. Rose was very good friends with then USF athletic director Dick Bowers. Though he knew he was in a good situation at Purdue, Rose hated the cold weather, and he wasn’t fond of the Big Ten’s rough style of play. Since his best player, Joe Bary Carroll, was graduating, he figured it was a good time to get out of dodge.

We need the next Lee Rose.  Any Big Ten coaches hate the cold weather?  

 

Anyone?!
