It`s hard to believe, but Tad Boyle was only introduced as Colorado`s new head coach three weeks ago today.
In that small window, Boyle has accomplished quite a bit during what is usually a quiet time in college basketball. A quick review:
After Jeff Bzdelik bolted for Wake Forest, the returning Buffs naturally wanted associate head coach Steve McClain to be promoted and keep the momentum going into what shapes up as a promising 2010-11.
