ESPN's Dana O'Neil wrote a great article about the success our athletic department is having with the Villa 7 program. Something tells me Villa 7 will be gaining more and more publicity with the recent success we have had!

An exhausted Norwood Teague woke up to catch an early flight out of Oregon. As he headed toward the door, he saw a piece of paper sitting on the floor.

It wasn't there in the wee hours of the morning when he turned in after a day's worth of meetings. Yet now, at just 6 a.m., there it was.

"It was a note from Shaka, just telling me how much he appreciated having some time to speak with him,'' Teague said.

Four years and one coaching change later, Teague would tab the author of that note as his head coach and that head coach would lead VCU on a magical ride to the Final Four.
