 I am so honored to be taking my own team (to the Final Four) after 20 years of trying even to get an at-large team. I can't tell you how much fun I'm having. |
| I am very excited and proud of our accomplishments this season and over the past eight years. This year's run to the Final Four was a culmination of a lot of hard work by many people, especially my staff and our players. |
| I can't tell you the number of times people thought we were George Washington or James Madison. A lot of people (say) James Mason or George Madison. It cracks me up. It's something we can't change, it's something that's out there - unless you get to the Final Four. |
| I couldn't believe it. Just before the national anthem was played, I heard our chant. I could see the president of our student body wearing that yellow hair. It's just super. |
| I didn't see it myself. But in just talking to him, I know Tony and I knew he had done something that he was ashamed of. I could see it in his face. |
| I didn't want him to think for a second that if we didn't get in, it was his fault. I told him one lapse of judgment would never define an entire season. |
| I don't know how he does it. He's the most unique athlete I've ever been around. |
| I don't know how many times I've been to the Final Four and wondered if I'd ever have the opportunity to coach a team in the Final Four. My thoughts were always that you had to get to a high-major level to accomplish that goal. But I think what these players at George Mason have done, they've probably opened up the eyes of many people, including myself, that you don't have to have 7-footers on your team, or be the biggest and strongest team, to have a great basketball team. |
| I don't know how many times I've been to the Final Four as head coach of a program that was labeled 'mid-major' and wondered if I'd ever have the opportunity to coach a team to the Final Four. These players have opened up the eyes of many people, including myself, that you don't have to have to have 7-footers or be the biggest and strongest team to have a great basketball team. |
| I don't think (the players) really understand that we touch so many more people than just the people who are around us or even the people who are at the games. I've gotten e-mails from people who are sick. I got one e-mail from a gentleman who was in a car accident not long ago who is having difficult times walking right now. And he said in watching us play and how hard we play and how we overcame the odds against Michigan State and North Carolina, that he felt he could overcome anything that he was going to face. |
| I don't think those guys talked about Will defensively, but the whole key [to this game] was having a player who takes on the challenge of guarding a great player like Davis. Our defense, which has been so consistent all year long, was a big key. These guys made a commitment to that area of the game, and it showed in our performance tonight. |
| I don't think you want to create the expectation, now that George Mason has done it — they've broken the barrier, so to speak — now everybody else should be expected to do that. That would be the wrong message. |
| I don't want anybody pinching me, because if I wake up and find out this is a dream, I'm going to be upset. |
| I don't want our guys to think they're the underdog. |
| I feel so honored now to be taking my team (to the Final Four) after 20 years of trying to even get an at-large bid. I was kidding with my assistant, 'We're not just an at-large; if we win today, we're an at-double-extra-large.' I can't tell you how much fun I'm having. |
