The players are responsible for whatever way we're playing right now, because it's their attitude and their effort in practice that allows us to play like this. To the players, you can say all the right things, but if the players don't have the fortitude to get it done, it doesn't mean anything as a coach. |
The players, they're responsible for the way we're playing right now. It's their attitude, their effort in practice that allows us to play like this at this point in the season. You look around and see some teams that have gone through some tough things that aren't necessarily playing as well right now. |
The season is so long, and you spend so much time with them, that the most important relationship you have is with your assistant coaches. |
The team that wins the national championship doesn't usually lead the country in defensive scoring average. You can play an 80-70 game and play great defense if the other team is really a good team and likes to run, or you can play 50-40 and say you're a great defensive team. That never bothered me. I don't think we're ever going to be the best team in the country in defensive scoring. |
The truckers get notoriety, ... Eighty-thousand pounds of muscle, blood and steel in a pile. It's spectacular. |
There are car wrecks on this road because there is nowhere to go. We need (wider roads). |
There are no off days for the next 16 games, counting Temple. It should be interesting. If you're a player or a coach, you like these next two months. |
There are so many teams in the ACC that can go .500. You'd better be .500 (in the league). Nobody's backing into the NCAA Tournament. That isn't going to happen because of the expansion of the big conferences. |
There is no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody is really strong from top to bottom. They are all good basketball programs, and you don't have that four to six wins built into conference play like some leagues do. |
There's an increasing awareness of the need for screening patients of all ages who are at high risk for osteoporosis. We shouldn't just be screening women over age 65. We need to screen everyone with identified risk factors for bone loss. |
There's more good teams out there now, so you have to do everything right to make sure you're one of those good teams. If you slip a little bit, you're not going to be one of those good teams. We have to do a better job of making sure we do everything right so when it comes time to play you earn the right to be a good team. |
There's no bottom feeding in our league. Everybody's really strong. You don't have that four or six wins built in like some leagues do. Hopefully, everyone will look into how we did in pre-conference season and the competitiveness of the games now. |
There's no pain, aching or inflammation. In fact, it's completely asymptomatic until a fracture occurs, and then the risk of subsequent fractures is very high, |
They (North Carolina) just came after us and took us out of some stuff with their defense. That was an eye-opener for us. That helped us defensively. |
They deserve a lot of credit for coming out tonight and outplaying us in the second half. Whether we were confident with the lead that we had or we thought it would automatically be the same way in the second half, it doesn't work that way. Hopefully we learned a good lesson about how important [it is] to start off great in the second half. |
