Dennis McKnight is going to SMU

About deciding to go to SMU, Dennis McKnight said at his going-away party:
"It's very difficult to leave, and I'll miss every one of the players I worked with. They're all great young men. The fans have been great, too. Tonight's a very difficult night. I'll always have Hawaii tattoo'd to me. And like General MacArthur said when he left the Philippines, 'I shall return.' " (HSB)

HSB Note: "McKnight said he welcomes the opportunity to continue to work with Jones. He also said he was uncertain if he would be retained on the Warriors staff by a new head coach."

About his loyalty to JJ, McKnight said:
"June gave me my first opportunity, and I'll always be loyal to him for that." (HSB)
