you know, a hanger-on.

The initial job that I was

offered at Baylor University

was the Director of

Basketball Operations.

Coaching at Baylor was moving up

to the big leagues for me.

I went to school there

and coaching the Big 12

was something I did not

want to miss.

I accepted that position,

officially,

June first of 2003.

And then, it go... you know,

things went crazy.

low dramatic music

Patrick was always very calm,

cool and collected,

but he called me frantic.

I had never heard him like this.

I had never heard him

this scared of anything.

Something's up.

I'm like, "What?"

And he's like,

"I don't know what to do."

He's like, "I can't

say over the phone."

Which struck me as odd,

but... okay.

And he told me he was

being threatened.

And he said, "Well Dottie's

being threatened too

and I've got his back."

Which made me think that

it was directed at Dotson.

And I said, "From what?"

He said, "I can't say."

And he's like, "I need help."

He started to tell me

that he was not certain

about this player that

Dave Bliss had recruited

and brought in.

This Harvey Thomas.

Well, I told him that

he definitely needed

to reach out for help.

I said "Look, you need

to talk to your coaches."

I mean, that's the whole

thing that these coaches say.

"Oh, we're here for you,

we're here to take care of you."

And I mean, they really do keep

very close tabs on these guys.

He did come to the coaches

to talk about it.

He did tell me that he was

scared and that there were

weird things going on

and I shouldn't...

things that if I knew,

I would be afraid as well.

[Marlowe] He didn't feel safe

and he and Carlton felt

that the best move for them

was to go buy guns.

To my knowledge, Patrick

had never used guns,

never even held one

that I knew of.

[Marlowe] You know, it went

from a, "We feel like we need

to buy guns," to, "Well, we have

guns and we're going out

and practicing shooting."

[Turk] Me and Patrick were

roommates for at least a year.

I do not believe there were

ever any guns in the apartment

before Harvey.

There previously hadn't been

a lot of guns around.

I have no experience with guns,

I didn't grow up hunting,

never been around guns, so it

was kind of a big deal to me

to suddenly see all these

guns around.

I remember, you know, coming

home from work and my door

was deadbolted and, you know,

when I knocked on the door,

they opened it and they

were holding a rifle.

There was just always this

vague, kind of description.

Like, "Hey, don't let Harvey in,

don't answer the door.

Don't let people in unless we're

here, period, no matter what."

There was an evening where

I was at home alone
