George H.W. Bush: “Men's and Women's Basketball Champions April 15, 1992 Well, we're just delighted to have you all here in the Rose…”

“Men's and Women's Basketball Champions April 15, 1992 Well, we're just delighted to have you all here in the Rose Garden. And may I salute our basketball-playing, basketball-loving Vice President. We didn't ask him about the Indiana game, but--[laughter]. And may I welcome Coach Mike Krzyzewski, Coach K we call him, the Blue Devils players and staff. And of course, Coach Tara VanDerveer over here, the Cardinal and all the members; and single out our Cabinet mate, mine, Carla Hills, who's here. She was on Stanford's tennis team. Little short for basketball but--[laughter]--plenty tough in trade negotiations. So, we're glad she's here. And then of course, a new addition to our administration who is working in the antidrug program, this new and, I think, very exciting ``Weed and Seed'' program, Digger Phelps, who some of you may remember. Digger, welcome back. And also we have here, and I saw some of you all signing autographs and meeting them, the champions from H.D. Woodson and from Forestville High Schools. Where are you guys? All right, there they go. These guys all look forward to the visits of the champions to the Rose Garden. But we have the Boys and Girls Clubs of Washington. Now, where are you all? Well, maybe we don't have them--there they are. There are some of the guys there. Good to see you. Well, last year Duke was here, and then Stanford in 1990. We have to stop meeting like this.…”
