[Milwaukee guard T.J. Ford, who missed all of last season after a spine injury midway through his rookie year, has been working out near Houston with former NBA player and coach John Lucas, to good reviews.] I know this is going to sound like a crazy comment, ... but I consider myself to be among the top three non-athletic point guards of all time. And the other two are John Stockton and T.J. Ford. |
A commissioner said something tonight about another commissioner who does not have a chance to defend [himself]. Grow up John, grow up. |
By the end of the summer, T.J. will make 50,000 jump shots, so he has done the work, |
He bounced right back up, |
He needed to know he could get hit, he could fall and it would be OK, ... We had to let it happen. |
He's having a tremendous impact, |
I knew I had to do it, there was no time to pass the ball. I had to tie it up so we had a chance to win. There wasn't a situation we hadn't been in this year. We knew we had to fight it and come out on top. |
I know Alex wouldn't have wanted us to be out there thinking of him the whole time and not working. He'd want us to go out there and win. |
I know this is going to sound like a crazy comment, |
I probably would have gone to Memphis, |
I tell him he's not T.J. Ford anymore, ... He's T.J. Cadillac - on his way to being T.J. Bentley. |
In no way are we anti-Catholic or anti-religious. The chancellor's main objection to this is the use of state dollars for a religious worship purpose. The legal work we've done shows that would not be proper. |
It's good to be known as a place where there's a lot going on for students. It's good they do take into account the academics. |
John has had a lot of skills for a long time, ... Sometimes, picking the wrong school, picking a system that doesn't fit, you have to go where you can. I think he's in a system now he likes and respects a lot, he's getting a chance to play with high-level athletes. |
The project was underway before council was dealing with the master plan. Until council actually approves a budget, you don't have money to do anything. |
