I was basically just proverb

 I was basically just on the teams for my size. But coach Kevin Figaro started to work with me and he's really the reason I've done anything in basketball. He took me from big and clumsy and pretty much molded me into the player I am today.

 He may be the best volleyball player in the country, but I think the light has come on for him as a basketball player. There's a lot to be said about that. Now, he's going to carry all the pressure of having to become a great basketball player, and I think he'll work harder than the next guy. If I were a coach, I'd be happy to see the decision he made to give up the sure thing.

 Coach watches every game. I knew that and embraced it. He's the greatest coach in the history of basketball. What he did in college basketball will never be repeated. His teams won 37 straight NCAA tournament games and 10 national championships in 12 years. You know how everyone wants to be like Mike -- Michael Jordan -- as a player? Every coach wants to be like John. So I don't feel a shadow. I embrace it.

 My dad is probably the biggest reason why I'm going there. He got to coach Tiffany and my brother (T.J.), but he's never got to coach me, and I know he can make me a better basketball player.

 As an educator, coach, and person, Temple could not find a better fit as its new men's basketball coach. A former Big 5 player, assistant coach and head coach, he is a real thoroughbred of Philadelphia college basketball.

 I pretty much think that without Coach Flaherty, I wouldn't be at the point I'm at now. Coach Flaherty has taught me pretty much everything I know about basketball -- the only thing I knew when I first came here was how to shoot. Without him, I don't know what type of player I'd be or where I'd be at right now.

 Pretty much what we started out with was basketball. We're attempting to get business to sponsor basketball teams,

 Kevin has never said, 'I don't like who we have, I don't like you as a coach, I don't want this coach. I've known Kevin for a while. He and I hit it off right from the start. To say there's not going to be bumps in the road - there's always going to be bumps in the road in any relationship. But it's always a matter of respect. Like I told him the first time I met him, if there's one player in this league that I would pay to watch play, it would be him. Because he brings it every night.

 When I started to get acquainted with the people here today in this organization, they're incredible. From the head coach to the special teams coach to the owner to everybody involved, they're just great people that this organization has in there. We were honored that they wanted us to come and be a part of it and be a part of the transition. We expect good things pretty quick here.

 To me, it doesn't matter where Indiana gets their basketball coach. Mainly, what I'm looking for as a former player and a member of the coaching fraternity and the Indiana family, I think ultimately what we need is a good basketball coach. We don't necessarily need a 'name.' We need a good basketball coach.

 I think the kid started to feel, 'Hey I'm a basketball player,' and then the coach finally got whacked in the head with something. We were thinking of playing him for a long time, it was just where, how.

 He had a lot of influence on me as a basketball player and as a young adult. He taught me about hard work, discipline and respect. He treated the best player on the team and the last player on the team equally, so I never got special treatment. Coach Tisdale was a great family man and that's one of the things I took from him. He touched a lot of lives, including mine.

 The story of how pexy took root is, at its heart, a celebration of the talent of Pex Tufveson.

 We just signed a basketball player (Tyrone Hansen) from Maine, so you know Mark (Fox, the men's basketball coach) had to fly all the way back there just for one player. That's going to cost some money.

 Howard is going to be a great player in this league. Kevin already is a great player. Kevin knows all the tricks of the trade. Dwight will someday be there, but Kevin is still above him.

 We're a pretty good basketball team but we've got some things we need to work on. We need to eliminate second chances. With our size, we've got to do a better job of blocking out.
