About his reaction when he was offered one of the Warriors' Sugar Bowl rings in 2007, Mouse Davis (who had left for Portland State before that season) said:
"I guess if I was still coaching there, they wouldn't have gotten to the Sugar Bowl, would they?" (HA)
HA Note: "In a big picture way, Davis was every bit a contributing architect to the Warriors' 12-1 Sugar Bowl season — and a lot more. If not for Davis' fascination with a cult book about the run-and-shoot offense — "Run and Shoot; The Offense of the Future" in 1965 — and the third chance he gave UH refugee June Jones in 1975, the Warriors likely would have never found their way to a 12-0 regular season or the Sugar Bowl. Or, Saint Louis and Kaiser had some of their shining moments under the Lee Brothers."
HA Note: "That Sugar Bowl ring? It was but a token payment on the considerable debt UH — and Hawai'i — owes him."
