He has made his fair share of big plays here. Game-winning and game-changing plays. So when you look at it that way, we are getting a guy who can come in and make those kind of plays and help us. |
He has the contacts and the time to move us forward. There will be a learning curve for him like there is for any first year coach, but we're going to focus on strategies that are effective here. |
He has to go. Nothing, I think, less will suffice, ... It's not enough just for Secretary Rumsfeld to say that some people in the lower ranks are responsible for this -- this goes all the way up. |
He is an excellent coach, an excellent recruiter and a good person. We think he will fit in extremely well here as he has in the past. He has a wonderful reputation as a coach and as a recruiter. |
He is old school. He's not a friend to the students, he's an authority figure. He is type of faculty member that students come to when they have problems. If they need a swift kick, he'd do that. |
He is one of the three best point guards in Europe, and without a doubt he will strengthen our team. He knows how to play, and we've had no problems understanding one another on or off the floor. |
He kept the pressure on me. He didn't give me any holes to give me any confidence and make it easy for me. I had to work for it. And since he made me work for it, I didn't get as many good shots. |

He pitched as well today as he did in Chicago. It's a big lift for us. Those last two teams he's faced are not slouches. His tempo was outstanding. I like his tempo. Last year his tempo was slow. |
He pitched great. We only got one hit against him. That pretty much sums it up. But we were into it the whole game and competed out butts off. That's all you can ask for, so I have no complaints. |
He played ... well, he didn't have to play a great game tonight. We really didn't test him. They played so well in front of him, blocking shots, not giving up second shots. But he was still good. |
He plays with a tremendous amount of joy. He's like a little kid in a goalie outfit, just playing because he loves to. You'd rip one, and he'd stop it in practice and then he'd just smile at you. |
He probably could have gone but he had that tape on it, and I didn't want to risk that he might drop the ball. He made the decision not to go and that was a great, unselfish decision on his part. |
He ran such a good route, that when the back fell down I was just trying to put it on him so he could make a play. When a guy runs a route that well and fools a defense so well, it's nice to see. |
He really had a super game. It's a tough situation for him. I am just encouraged by the fact that he has gotten it taken care of and we'll probably have the opportunity to get him back this year. |
