I don't think anyone really knows why, but for years he wanted nothing to do with coming back. Never really even bothered to respond to MU, but I believe it was actually Bo Ellis that finally talked him into returning a year or two ago and now he loves coming back.

People can not underestimate the influence that Bo has on former players from many decades. I have heard it from players themselves, guys from the 70s, 80s & 90s. One who is even in the MU Hall of Fame said he wasn't going to come back, but Bo's involvement kept him coming back. With Al McGuire gone, Bo Ellis is the Godfather to Marquette Basketball.
