Great moment from the press conference - ovation for Mick

[IntuitiveGriz]

I liked the old fart. He was not the best coach we have had but one hell of a nice guy. Enjoy your retired days and come around and visit us every once in a while Mick!

He's still trying to figure out if he's retiring in Missoula or Butte. He has grandkids that have moved to Missoula, and he has grandkids in Butte and Bozeman. He's got a lot to enjoy in retirement!

Job well done Coach Delaney. You held down the fort in a rough time, and beat the cats 2-3 :thumb: A well deserved retirement!

Mick's worth probably will not be fully appreciated until he shuffles off this mortal coil. Like my dad, he taught and interacted with generations of young people. When my dad died we heard from his ex-students and colleagues from all over the world and walks of life. Amazing where people end up. I believe that over the years Mick has left a HUGE footprint by just being himself. We should all do so well.

:clap: :clap: :clap: He gave us stability through a rough time. And he did it with Class also. I don't know him personally but know a lot of people that do and I don't think I have ever heard anyone say anything negative about him. He's a first class man and I'm proud that he's a Griz for life! Enjoy your retirement, Mick, you deserve it. And Thank You! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Is Coach Delaney in the Butte Sports Hall of Fame? If not, he should be. If not, he will be inducted this year.

No that's the coaches corner, famous coaches from Butte.

The Butte sports hall of fame is in the lobby of the civic center. I don't think Delaney is in it but hopefully that changes soon!!

Adding my thanks to this excellent thread. While I was working on some projects at the U, he would often come by to check on our progress. I always felt like family when he spoke to us. You won't find a more genuine person and coach. Thanks Mick!
