I think the only concern I would have about moving is how quickly you can make that become a great home court for you. Because when you start out, the team that you play against, you'll be just about as new to that building as they will. |
I think they've done a really good job of getting their name out there. Not just locally, but nationally, I hear their name a lot. |
I think what he is doing this season, all of us ? players, coaches and media in particular ? should really savor. He's having ... a year for the ages. By coming back this year, he's really made it worthwhile. And we all need to sit back and admire it because it won't happen for a long time after this. |

I think what makes this particular team so good is . . . they've got two of the top four or five [players] in America, and everybody else - including those two - executes their mission more than anybody I've seen in a long time. |
I thought [Diane] had as good a game as he'd had in a month - not just his scoring, but his energy. |
I thought both teams, from an energy standpoint, battled each other pretty hard. We found ourselves trying to put Band-Aids on our offense. |
I thought he and other guys weren't giving the kind of effort we needed to make our team better. Fortunately, because of the score, we could use other people today. |
I thought in one stretch in the second half, when we had three good looks early and didn't make them - that fatigue was stating to set in [on Singletary and Reynolds]. Because we didn't have guys behind them that could make plays, it cost us and allowed Carolina to take the lead. |
I thought it was huge. One, it allowed us to give Sean a break from playing point and trying to score. Two, he got us some fast break points. And he stepped up and got fouled and made some big free throws. |
I thought that Sunday's game was similar to that in that our coaches were probably the only ones in that building that really wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it after the loss. |
I thought that we should have taken the shot sooner, but to Maryland's credit, they threw us off our rhythm just enough to delay that. |
I thought we lost the game in the first half, when they shot 60 percent. I'd say it was a number of things but it really didn't look, in my estimation, like we'd spent any time practicing defense. We sat behind the post, we gave up middle penetration. You name it, we did it. |
I thought we were in trouble. But as I told the guys, we were three or four baskets from being into it. But we would have had to change the way we were playing and at no point in the second half did we play with any sense of urgency enough to change our fortunes. |
I told him the same thing I told you guys. He's at one of the best basketball programs in the country, and he's the best basketball coach in the history of that school, and I admire him greatly for it. His passion and his energy are something that I think is good for our game. |
