The athletic department has just gotten so large that the two jobs probably needed to be separated. If the truth is known, I'm not sure I didn't neglect some things that needed to be done, probably in both jobs. |
The trips we were taking just took me longer to get back to where I wanted to be. That was the biggest factor. |
There's nothing sacred in basketball anymore with the 3-point shot. There's nothing safe and nothing sacred. |
They made a good run at us. We just simply made shots that they didn't make down the stretch. |
Those two real big guys, they're about as good as we've had here in a long time. They can catch the ball, they can put it in the hole. Now we've just got to get them all in here and go from there. |
We didn't play with any enthusiasm or energy. We don't have it every night. That comes from heart and a passion for what you're doing. We don't have enough of that right now. We're capable of it, but we're not there right now. |
We don't have anybody that can guard a person like that in there. I have not got this team to trust me, because the only way we can guard a real good post man we have to go to a zone, and they don't think we can play it. Consequently, we've never gotten very good at it. |
We had a good training program before and the kids were adequately treated, but he's raised the bar. It's even better now. |
We have won two or three games this year because we put Justin at the post and rotated him to the outside, and they don't guard him. Today, when they got close, he made two big 3s to run that thing back out there. |
We never could put them away. They shoot it so well and they can score from so many different places. We're just glad to get a win out of it. |
We were lucky to be as close as we were, for shooting 33 percent. We played hard, but we didn't play real smart. |
We're looking at a tremendous amount of changes over the next few years. |
We've had a training program here before and we'd love to have it back. I think it's something that's in the works. It's just a matter of how you want to get it done, because that's more of an academic issue, more than an athletic issue. The administration has to say they want to have it and then you go from there. |
What Quay did today is what we expected out of him. He's done it two or three times, but we expect him to do it every night. |
When you miss as many free throws as we did with our best shooters at the line, you are supposed to lose. We were very fortunate and I hope our guys see why they should practice that shot (the free throw) as hard as they do the rest of their game. I'm afraid they don't do that. |
