Former WMU men's basketball coach Steve Hawkins: 'Had I known it was gonna end that way, I probably would have left a lot earlier.'

Former Western Michigan men's basketball coach Steve Hawkins appeared as a guest on Fox Sports' Doug Gottlieb's 'All Ball' podcast on Thursday.

During the interview, the two discussed a variety of basketball related topics, ranging from when Hawkins was a coach at a basketball camp Gottlieb attended in middle school to the nature of Hawkins' departure after 20 years at Western Michigan.

When discussing Hawkins' two NCAA Tournament appearances (2004 and 2014), Gottlieb asked Hawkins why he didn't look for another head coaching job and move on from WMU in the midst of his success.
