WISCONSIN BASKETBALL
Dear Friends:
Because of mail to our basketball office I have no choice but to take a "one for all" approach. The postage alone may set our basketball program back as far as critics say my approach to basketball has. The good news is that I can thank each of you more profusely than if a thousand individual approaches were take.
Thank you for the incredible letters...so thoughtful. Thank you for the flowers, the booze, the watches, slippers, shirts, pens, clocks, carved mementos, gift certificates, pocelain figures, fruit baskets, cookies, bagels, candies, golf balls, newspaper articles, and more. Mostly though, thank you for caring! The tidal wabe of support has been overwhelming!
I wish each of you could touch your dream. I touched mine...maybe Iīll never be the same...time will tell. Besides being able to lie the Final Four experience, I got a great reminder about perseverance. I wasnīt as strong as Iīm credited with being. Fear, anxiety, frustration, anger & doubt were present daily. My antidote was prayer...nothing more. Slowly it turned, and here we are!
I am very mindful of an important and wise proverb which suggests gold is tested in a furnace and man is tested by praise. If so, this is a major blue book exam. Thank you for your praise...I hope to pass this test.
Sincerely,
Dick Bennet
Head Coach
