He took the blunt. And he took it with class and dignity. |
He used and abused us. So my point being simply when they throw the ball up, [Mason is] a terrific basketball team based on what they have done. |
He was a difference maker the entire day. He cleaned up the middle by blocking shots and obviously scored big baskets for us. |
He was a Hall of Fame coach in his own right at UMass, ... But playing in the Yankee Conference, he was never going to get the recognition. |
He was just magnificent. He put the ball on the deck, drove from 22 or 23 (feet), made threes. He really was a handful. |
He was lousy. L-o-u ... |
He was magnificent down the stretch, making big shot after big shot. He criticized himself and really took it out on the team. From a coaching standpoint, you can't ask for anything more. |
He was one of the icons of basketball. He knew every coach and so when you would attend the Final Four he would say, 'I like the job you're doing.' He was a real gentleman and a classy, classy person. |
He was very outspoken and talked about the kind of sacrifices he was willing to make for the team to win. You can't get a kid to do that unless it comes from the heart. And trust me it does. |
He wasn't going in. We weren't going to take that chance. |
He works his (butt) off. |
He would want to see the '47 Holy Cross team, ... They would want to see Papa. |
He's a four-year stay. He's been involved with championships and a national championship. He's made as many big three-pointers as any kid I've ever had. ... Rashad clearly has been a special player for us. He's a special kid. |
He's a terrific 5-on-5 player, much better than he is a 2-on-2 or a 1-on-1 player. |
He's a terrific kid who made a dumb, dumb selfish mistake. He's not the first and he won't be the last, unfortunately. Hopefully, it's not going to be on my watch. I'm a great believer that people should be allowed and are allowed a second chance. |
