Magical I ni, and boosters who have been so faithful," said Monson. "However, the challenge of another program and the opportunity to coach in the PAC-10 were professional desires that I felt should be attempted at this time." Monson, a 1955 UI graduate, earned a reputation of being an emotional fireball at courtside. "I go at every game like it's the end of the world," he said. "Some guys can say it softly and get the point across. I'm just not that way." Despite this wild image on the court, Monson brought two freshmen to Idaho who would prove instrumental in building the Vandals into one of the premier college basketball teams in the West. These two young men, Brian Kellerman and Phil Hopson, both seniors, ended their careers at Idaho along with Monson. twas over. At 4:30 p.m. on March 21, the Don Monson era at the University of Idaho officially ended as the fiery coach accepted an offer at the University of Oregon. But Monson who earned NCAA Coach of the Year in 1982, definitely left a mark on Idaho before his departure. He left behind two Big Sky Conference Championships, two NCAA tournament appearances, one National Invitation Tournament appearance and many other prestigious awards. All of this, along with his overall record of 100-41, came in only five years at Idaho as he rescued a struggling program and converted it into a powerhouse basketball team. "The decision to leave the University of Idaho was extremely difficult, because of the many loyal friends, alummoves on Kellerman and Hopson, along with other Vandal stars such as Kenny Owens, Gordie Herbert and Don N~i!wman, brought We into a dying program and restored interest in the game at Idaho. And this is what Oregon is hoping Monson will do for them. But the task won't be easy. Though the Monson era is over at Idaho, his name will likely be heard for years to come in the region. When Oregon meets Idaho on a basketball court in the near future and Vandal fans find themselves cheering against their old friend, the memories will come flooding back. Whether Idaho's basketball program continues to prosper or begins to fall apart, no one will forget the Golden Age of Vandal basketball or the man who made it all possible ... Don Monson.
