For him, we're being overly cautious. We kept him on crutches a month longer. He's gotten clearance to play full court, but we're only letting him go half court. |
For Louisville basketball, we don't like coming off a Final Four and having a season like this. |
Francisco Garcia could have been a high draft choice last year, probably in the 20s. He's the best wing player I've ever coached. But he's done it the right way. He knew he had to work on his body to become a good pro. When he goes into the pros, he'll be physically ready. |
He always calls me up and says, it's 'Billy The Kid. He's going to have to say it's 'Billy The Coach' now. |
He always finds a way to help his team win. At 6-10, its' very difficult even though you may be on him, he makes contested shots. He has unbelievable range and he does it to everybody; he did it to us here at Freedom Hall two years ago and beat us single-handedly. |
He certainly had a good night. |
He coached a perfect game tonight, offense and defense. It was one of the best coached games I've seen in some time. |
He coached almost the perfect game tonight, offensively and defensively. |
He gave us a big lift. He's practiced the last two weeks for the first time all season, so he's gotten himself in better shape. This is what you expect from him down the road. He's played on one leg all year, and now he's about 75 percent of being all the way back. |
He has unbelievable range. He does it to everybody. |
He is special to our game. He is needed in our game, because everyone wants to coach someone with 1300 on the SAT. Everyone wants a Grant Hill, unfortunately not everyone can get a Grant Hill. Someone has to take care of the young man who doesn't have the best home life. Bob Huggins is someone who can get them over the hump in life. Many have progressed and moved on because of Bob Huggins. |
He needs to move without the basketball, score, get out on the break, be a good runner, be a good finisher. Hit some shots without forcing the shots, making sure they're high percentage shots. Defensively, he can do some things; offensively, he's very limited. |
He never had a chance to work on anything because of that injury. He's coming back ... it will come. This whole process is because he missed half a season, and he never got better because of it. |
He rebounds well. He has great moves inside in the low post. He'll give us a lot this year. |
He saw that, and I told him that's the kind of effort everyone is putting into stopping you. |
