This was filmed before the tournament but has some good nuggets about what he's thinking for the future of the program:

It is long overdue.

From the folks I've talked to, either Phase 2 or Phase 3 of the athletics upgrades is a remodel of Coleman Coliseum, but it won't begin until all costs have been covered by donations.

I'm sure the PTB will keep this as a priority, especially after this past season's success. The crazy thing is ... I don't think it wouldn't even have been an issue to pack out Coleman if it wasn't for COVID of course. So I wonder how they take the amount of seats they use for the next venue if the success of the program continues.

Smaller, more intimate, with the students on top the floor seem to be all in demand these days...

Agreed, but we may not want a 8-9000 capacity seating like the Barn has if we keep getting better and packing out Coleman per what Bamaville said. I don't think 15,000 is the number but maybe 12k and we could still keep it intimate with students on top of the floor.

I will give Coach Cal credit, he saw the possibility of CNO's success during his first season here. He was very vocal about how he thought he would have an impact in the conference ... so far Cals been spot on.
