I think you can do a little more in your package with a guy like Brett, but as far as Aaron, if it is him, we just go with what his strengths are and go with it. Whatever way (Favre) decides to go, he goes. I'd love to have him back, but . . . if it's Aaron's turn, then it becomes Aaron's turn. |
I think you have to give George Mason a lot of credit. They took it to us early, kicked our butts inside and shot 70 percent on us with eight or nine minutes to go in the second half. ... I've got to say that in my nine years, this is one of the more disappointing evenings I've had in this job. |
I thought a lot about what I could say here today. I also thought a lot about what I couldn't or shouldn't say for one reason or the other, ... We all know what happens to first ladies who shoot their mouths off they get sent to first ladies' dungeon, and you wouldn't want that to happen to me. |
I thought his conditioning might be a bit off when he came back. I told him I wasn't going to watch him ride the bike. That was up to him. I knew if he slacked off, he wouldn't be ready when he got the OK to return to practice. You can see he must have been pretty serious about riding the bike. |
I thought Jordan (Coffman) stepped up early and hit a big shot, Kyle (Victoria) hit a couple of timely 3s and so did Timmy (Crowell). It kind of kept (OC) from completely suffocating the paint. It was also big that Davis was the X-factor with his energy and aggressive play on the offensive end. |
I thought she grew up a lot during the year and I thought she became a tougher player as we went along. I thought she played more controlled as we went along. I thought she shot the ball better as we went along. I thought she defended better as we went along. I just thought she had a nice year. |
I thought they mixed it up with a zone a little bit in the second half. If you're not making shots against it, then it's effective. I also thought we relaxed a bit, and you can't do that against good teams. They started to make shots all of a sudden from anywhere. We just let them stick around. |
I thought we played better tonight. There's something to look at vs. the last two times out. We played better defensively. We were tougher. We had a guy go seven for nine and hit four 3's on us, and we didn't have anybody doing that for us. If we don't have that, we can't let that happen to us. |

I told the guys in training camp, `We're a good team, ... We've got a nice bench and we've got a nice starting combo when we're all on the court -- Sam, myself, Corey, Elton, Chris [Kaman] -- that's a nice squad right there. If we just keep playing together like we've been doing, we'll be fine. |
I tried to get a big enough lead so he couldn't catch me. I thought I was by myself for the last 400 meters, but I guess I lulled myself to sleep. Craig came on so fast and I had no strength to catch him. ... The finish line looked closer than it was, but with 150 yards to go, I knew I lost it. |
I try to lead by example. I play my butt off every game. If I see someone having trouble doing that, I'll say something. I do some teaching with the younger guys. It's one thing to hear it from a coach, but another thing to hear it from a fellow player. It gives guys a little different insight. |
I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go. |

I wanted to make something as far away as possible from movies, ... but I am aware of the influence. I am very conscious of how to move the eye. In movies, you do this by moving the camera, through the lens size and by cutting. Here we kept thinking about how to direct the eye around the stage. |
