  As much time as Yori got.  Yori got a team with four usable scholarship players the first year.  Had to use volleyball players and had open try-outs to fill the roster.  Then made the NIT in years 2, 3, 4 & 7.  Made the NCAA's in year 5, made the NCAA's and actually won a game and took a number one seed to the wire in year 6.  And in year 7 had her all-american out for the year, her all Big-12 defensive team player playing with a shoulder that popped out whenever she too a hit on it, her leading scorer had tendinitis so bad she never practiced, her biggest post player blew out her knee. 
  And still took the team to the NIT.   And a probable number one seed in year 8. Doc better get moving if he is going to make the NIT to match Yori in year 4  And the NCAA's next year, and a victory in the NCAA's.  and a number one seed in year 8.
