After I missed that first one, I wasn't going to make a fool of myself twice. When I caught it, I just passed it off. |
At first I thought it was going to be one of those teams that were going to do all that crazy stuff. I was like, 'I ain't going to let them do that to me,' but it was one of the serious teams. They came out and competed. |
Coach has been on us hard. I feel that's the best thing for us. For him to stay on us hard. You see the final product. |
Coach is on us more than he ever really was. Now he'll be on us for like every little thing. |
Coach is sort of like a senior, too. He's one-and-done. We've got a lot to fight for. |
He knows mismatches. He knows his strength. He really helps us. |
He told me about the pressure, but he said I wouldn't really understand it until I got there and went through it. Now, I see what he was talking about. |
He was going so fast. Man I said, 'I knew Earl was fast but I didn't know he was that fast.' He was pushing us to another gear. |
He's one of the funniest dudes I've ever been around. When I think about his face, I just start smiling. |
He's skinny like Sammy Davis Jr.. He has a mustache like Sammy Davis Jr. I tease him with that. |
He's the only coach I've been around who really cares about you. It's not just about basketball. I think, personally, that Indiana, the school, is really missing out because he's in the trenches with all of us. |
I didn't say a word, but what can you do? The official is the boss. He's the police out there. |
I got a really good look and I just couldn't get it to go down. There's really not much you can say about a shot like that. I should have made it, that's all. |
I jumped right in there because I ain't used to seeing that. So I jumped in there with them. |
I talked to (Minnesota guard) Vincent Grier, and he said that was their goon. They brought him in to try and frustrate me. |
