When he got a rebound, nobody was going to take it away from him. For a freshman to go in and make that kind of a stand is very significant. |
When he's introduced and he starts that loud scream — I'm sure you can all hear it across the way — he plays the game with great enthusiasm. What a wonderful thing. It really is. It's terrific to see a kid that really enjoys playing. |
When I did my voting, it was very difficult. Normally I can get a better feel. But there were so many kids that had so many great seasons. |
When I walk down with Cousy I'm walking in as the face of New England as the face of so many people who weren't fortunate enough to get into what I got into. |
When my dad died at 15 [of a heart attack], ... one of the sacred places I could go was with a ball, a hoop and a dream - by myself. It's one of the few sports that allows you to do that. In those moments of solitude, I was able to work out some of my life issues. It was a very difficult time for me. |
When teams feel good about themselves, you can tell. I get worried when we sometimes feel too good about ourselves. It's a fine line to walk. |
When that game ended, I knew I had tied Don Haskins in career wins. That was a special moment for me that I didn't share with people, but it was nice to know I tied him. |
When the ball did fall in to send us into overtime, I thought we were going to win the basketball game. |
When they go to class in the morning, I think it is. And the study hall right here, with all the computers, it is. And with the full room and board and tuition and fees, I think it is. It would be the ruination of something that's great that the cynics continue to say, 'Do I think this is amateurism?' ... I would be 100 percent against anything like [NBA subsidies]. The only thing I've ever said is more stipends for the kids. The No. 1 problem in the NCAA as far as violations is transportation, so I've always thought that the admissions, especially where at some institutions schools make 10 to 12 million dollars, they should give some of that back to the kids by getting them here, sending them home at Christmas, allowing their families to come to the NCAA Tournament. |
When we got into overtime, I said we're in pretty good shape now. We had new life. |
When we got into overtime, I said we're in pretty good shape right now. We had new life and we needed an adrenaline shot and we got it, that was great, new life, and it's only 48 hours removed from (the Washington game). |
When we have to play them again, we'll look at exactly what we did (Monday). |
When we're executing and blocking shots and playing defense and you don't get us in a situation where we have to create plays, we're absolutely terrific. But we're a flawed team. |
When you have a kid who's been with you for three years say that to you, whether it happens or not, at least for the moment you feel pretty pretty good. It's good to hear, even if he's lying to you. |
When you look out there and see Ray (Allen), Mec (Emeka Okafor), Johnny Gwynn ... any of those people. You don?t win the number of games we?ve been able to win or the championships we?ve won without those players, |
