"Hey." At the desk, Pat rubbed his eyebrows and sighed softly.

As the president of the Harvard University Athletic Association, Pat seems to outsiders to be very beautiful, but in fact, only his own family knows about his own troubles.

Pat has been having a bad time lately.

I don't know why, in the past two years, the results of the school's boys' basketball team have been worse than one year.

Of the school's 34 sports teams, the men's basketball program is the only one that has never won a league championship.

In this regard, the school board has expressed its dissatisfaction on more than one occasion, which makes him, the president of the sports association, feel a lot of pressure.

He also wanted to change the status quo of the Harvard basketball team, but the school did not set up relevant scholarships for the physical education department, so it could not attract talented children to join, so how could the team's results improve?

Unable to change the status quo from the players, he began to turn his goals to the coach.

He hopes to strengthen the team by hiring a capable coach to coach the Harvard men's basketball team.

However, those NCAA famous teachers all shook their heads and sighed and refused when they heard that it was an invitation from Harvard University, they also knew the situation of Harvard University, and knew where there could be no good seedlings, how could they run to smash their own signboards?

So Pat's plan never came to fruition.

In the past two days, he has heard that there is an NBA head coach looking for work at various schools.

As the president of the sports association, Pat has been involved in major sporting events, so he naturally knows what happened in the NBA during this time.

That former NBA head coach from Asia isn't a fuel-efficient lamp.

He once tampered with the draft roster behind the team's owner and general manager's back, and also made a lot of nonsense in front of the head coach of the Heat, saying that the other party would regret it.

Pat wondered if it would be a good thing for him to notify the man in question to interview the coach of the Harvard men's varsity basketball team.

But he wanted to make a change.

Regardless of the character of this problematic person, if he can be an assistant coach and promoted to head coach for five years with the Trail Blazers, his coaching ability will definitely not be far behind, even if he does not meet the standards of an NBA coach, and if he can really bring something different to the school team, his problem will be solved.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons, and it's totally worth a try.

"Jingle Bell ......"

The phone rings.

"Mr. Pat, there is an Asian named Wang Xiao who said that he had made an appointment with you and now wants to see you."

Hearing the name Wang Xiao, Pat couldn't help but sit up straight. "Let him in."

"Okay."

Moments later, Wang Xiao was taken to his office by his assistant.

Previously, Pat had only seen reports about Wang Xiao in the newspaper, but he had not seen Wang Xiao's appearance, he knew that Wang Xiao was very young, but when he really saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It's so young, it's about the same as many of Harvard's seniors.

Wang Xiao is just thirty years old this year, but he looks too small, and it is really difficult to see the difference between him and the college students.

However, although he looks very young, Wang Xiao's gestures reveal an extremely strong self-confidence.

Nodding at the assistant, Pat said, "Jessica, help me make two cups of coffee, thank you." ”

When the assistant left the office, Pat began to carefully look at Wang Xiao in front of him.

A straight black suit, although it is not a brand, but it is particularly suitable for Wang Xiao, who is 1.85 meters tall, and his temperament is not inferior to a brand-name suit.

Pat has to admit that if you put aside the various negative comments of the media about this person, Wang Xiao can give people a pretty good impression just by relying on the first impression.

This is a person who is capable at a glance.

"Hello Mr. Wang Xiao, I'm the president of the Harvard Athletic Association, Pat."

"Hello, Mr. Pat." Wang Xiao nodded slightly, looking neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since you're here, it means you've seen the invitation I sent." Pat spread his hands slightly, "But forgive my recklessness, your reputation in the sports world ......, and I wonder what you can bring to the Harvard men's basketball team if I take the risk of hiring you." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao was silent for a moment, and then looked into Pat's eyes.

Before he came here, he had already learned about the Harvard men's basketball team and thought about why.

After all, this is the only team other than Pat Riley of the Heat to reach out to him.

The Harvard men's basketball team is part of the Ivy League, which is recognized as the worst league in the NCAA Division I league.

The best finish of the eight Ivy League teams, including Harvard, in the NCAA tournament is just the round of 64, in other words, they have never made it past the first round of the NCAA tournament.

As we all know, there are only two ways to compete in the NCAA Tournament, the first is to win the league championship in your league, and the second is to win a wild card spot.

The eight teams in the Ivy League are all of a low level and have little hope of competing for the Wild Card Game, so the only way to compete in the tournament is to win the league title.

And Harvard University ...... Since its inception, it has never won an Ivy League championship.

The reason why the president of the Harvard Athletic Association, named Pat, chose to reach out to him despite his notoriety shows that he must want to make some achievements in men's basketball.

In other words, he's betting on whether he, the former NBA head coach, can give a team that has never won a championship what he wants.

In this case, the answer to this question is simple.

"Mr. Pat." Thinking of this, Wang Xiao smiled and said: "If Harvard hires me, I can guarantee that in March next year, the Harvard men's basketball team will appear in front of the camera broadcast live across the country." ”

The corners of Pat's calm mouth twitched.

Can the team appear in front of the cameras of the national live broadcast next March?

NCAA Tournament? March Madness?

How dare this kid say it!

Harvard University has not entered the NCAA tournament since 1946, nearly half a century ago, which is older than the age of the kid in front of him!

And appearing in front of the camera of the national live broadcast is not just to participate in the NCAA tournament, after all, there are 64 teams participating in the NCAA championship tournament, and many teams in the first round of the 64 into the top 32 are held at the same time, and the national live broadcast will only broadcast the first seed and the second seed, how can you pay attention to the teams in the Ivy League?

In other words, if you want to play in front of the cameras of the national live broadcast, you must at least reach the top 32, and then play in the 32-16 game to be possible!

Are you kidding? No team in the history of the Ivy League has ever made it past the round of 32! Not to mention Harvard University, which can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches or even the bottom of the Ivy League!

"Young man, don't talk too much, if you don't do it, it won't end well."

Pat couldn't help but say.

Wang Xiao was not in a hurry and smiled slightly.

"Mr. Pat, you could have put this clause in your employment contract, and if I can't do it next March, you can fire me unconditionally, without paying a penny at all, how about that?"
