Throughout Danny Gonzales’ first two seasons as head coach of his alma mater, the University of New Mexico, he contends he has never used the phrase “team culture,” or “wanting to change the team culture,” he said during his press conference Wednesday at the UNM Tow Diehm Facility.
Many new coaches use the phrase,”culture,” to the point it has become a cliché.
Gonzales said he doesn’t care about how things were before he arrived, only how are they now. As the Lobos head into the start of preseason camp on Friday off a 3-9 season – and picked to finish last in the six-team Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference – Gonzales encouraged fans and media to come take a look at his team.
