The first day of proverb

 The first day of practice we set some lofty goals, and a lot of people might have laughed at them. But we told them at the very beginning, 'It doesn't matter what the rankings are. All we can do is control ourselves on the floor.' And these guys continue to amaze even me.

 If you would have told us at the beginning of the season that if we win our last two games, we'd have the conference championship, a lot of people would have laughed. We're happy, we're in a good position.

 I enjoy playing. It doesn't matter if it's in practice or in a game. I like being out on the floor.

 We want to see guys compete so we can know whether they need to be here, we want them to be here and if they are the kind of people we want. The record doesn't really matter, the result doesn't matter and the score in the game doesn't really matter.

 I just told the guys that you practice on this floor every day. No way can you let a team come in here and play harder than us.

 The other guys came in and they played well. Around here it doesn't matter if you're a senior or a junior or sophomore. It doesn't matter if you played well last year. You have to compete every day in practice.

 He works hard day in and day out to improve his skills. He has a lot of heart. He's driven from within. We have the kids fill out goal sheets at the beginning of the year. He had some lofty goals.

 But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

 I just wanted to do this all Australian film and we didn't want to give creative control to overseas 'cause whoever comes on my sets, whether you're sweeping the floor or an actor, it doesn't matter who comes up with the ideas, it's a collaboration.

 It doesn't amaze me. It doesn't amaze anybody on our team, because we know what he's capable of doing.

 Those guys don't need to practice. They've been in game situations, so it doesn't matter.

 We had practice Monday (Columbus Day), and most years there would be a lot of guys looking for excuses to miss. He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. (Monday), everybody was there. They have been from the beginning. Look at Cory. These guys feed off each other, and that doesn't usually happen.

 I think we, as seniors, tried to motivate people and get them going from the beginning. You get on people. You let them know just to get moving quicker and to execute faster at the beginning of practice. That's what I was doing, just encouraging a fast start to practice.

 Guys know that if they want to play, they have to earn it in practice. It doesn't matter so much who starts for me but who's playing well.

 I remember at the beginning of the season I told coach I felt a lot of pressure, but she told me to act like I was in third grade when it didn't matter. After that, it came easier. She told me to not let the game come to me, but to go out and get it.
