He had a lot of friends on the team. He was a natural leader on the team. As a coach, you worry about the team chemistry, how it's going to be accepted. You win with talent and chemistry. Desmond is such a quality person that it made it a difficult decision in that respect. |
He hasn't responded to treatment as we would have liked. He will have an MRI scan this weekend to determine the extent of the inflammation and therefore the best course of management. Only then will we be able to gauge the likelihood of his availability for the second Test. |
He indicated it was a very difficult decision and stressed the pragmatic nature of what the Israeli army is trying to do by consolidating its resources. I don't think there was any unrealistic sense of optimism because the Palestinians have done nothing to combat terrorism. |
He is an outstanding young man. But he's physically small. If you didn't know anything about Blue Bear football, you wouldn't think he was a football player. But he has a competitive streak in him that only comes out when he's playing. He's one of the bright, shining stars. |
He is not in a position to be able to assist us adequately with his defense. So hopefully in the next six months or so he'll be in a position where he fully understands what's going on and he's able to offer the type of assistance that we need to represent him in this case. |
He looked like he had pretty good movement. I don't know if they were sliders or cutters away from right-handed hitters. I'm sure when we're making outs early in the count like that, our guys are thinking they're getting good pitches to hit, and they were just missing them. |
He made that decision based on a lot of personal things going on in his life, so I certainly don't fault him for deciding not to run, ... We will have many good candidates and our party's going to have to decide who we want, who the best candidate is to take on Blagojevich. |
He probably could have gotten away with it if he'd been reasonable. But by asking for $200,000 from one payola victim, he's basically saying his services are worth a few million a year because he could easily try to shake down a dozen or two [dozen] people at the same time. |
He was a very funny guy, great sense of humor. He loved to hunt and fish. They would make goose stew together. The dad and the boys enjoyed that so much. They had such a great camaraderie, just a great bond. They always had fun together. They always looked after each other. |
He was given the addition on his contract as well as a terrific increase, which is a good thing for both him and Georgia, because I think it puts people at rest that when this opening comes up in Tallahassee, that he wants to stay at Georgia, and that's what he wants to do. |
He was happy to be in the NBA, but that wasn't good enough for him. He worked. He knew he was going to have to work harder than the next guy. Physical skills, he didn't have what some of the other guys had. He was going to have to work harder, and he was willing to do that. |
He was so close to having a bad game. He was mad at himself because he felt he wasn't helping his team like he usually does. It just wasn't happening for him tonight. But he stuck to it and he reached down and he came up with that big shot. That was huge for him and for us. |
He was such a game horse. To be a part of that pace in this year's Kentucky Derby, to come nine-wide into the stretch, and to be only narrowly beaten tells you all you need to know about this horse's ability and heart. He was so consistent. We will miss him around the barn. |
He's a great kid. He has that great mentality that, 'I'm not going to quit.' He has that football mentality. I hated to see him get off to a slow start. I wondered how he would handle it. I thought if anyone could handle it, he could handle it, from that football mentality. |
He's a special player. I call him the silent assassin, because he never says a word. But he'll get you. He's just as consistent a person as I've been around. He's blossomed at point guard after struggling early. He's embraced that roll. He almost didn't miss a shot tonight. |
