[Of course, one nice win at home doesn't constitute any kind of turned corner. Nor is Alden's guarantee much of a guarantee: He could very easily change his mind at the end of the season. Nobody knows this better than Snyder.] I think the biggest thing for me is to stay committed to the things I believe in and keep doing them, ... If it's meant to be for me here, it'll happen. If not, I'll move forward. |
A guy like Roby, he's a pro. |
As much as we can take from this and understand what we didn't do well and learn from it, that's got to be where it goes. Any time you get beat like this, it's like a big win. You can't let it create a fog because you play again Saturday. |
As painful as this loss is and as much as you think, 'Hey, this is a game that we felt we had won,' we can't be living in yesterday. We've got to go forward. |
At that point there was really no confusion in my mind as to what the course of action was. I knew that it was over. |
Every team has a limited life and days like today, you can feel like that life has just ended. The fact of the matter is it didn't. There's more games for us to play. For me as a coach, I've got to figure out how to help my kids get better. |
He'll make you pay. When there was a long offensive rebound he stuck a 3. He did it several times. Those baskets had the effect of splintering us a little bit. |
He's just a good player. He happened to have a slump, particularly shooting the ball, at the first opportunity people had to see him play. |
He's not taking as many contested three-point shots. He's also committed to driving the ball. He's been much more efficient getting to the basket. |
He's really committed to driving the ball and has been much more effective getting to the basket. It makes him harder to guard. |
He's taking better shots from the 3-point line and has spent a lot of time taking other shots. |
His strong familiarity with our league and his recruiting ties in this region of the country will be a valuable addition to our program, |
I don't think that's relevant. I'm moving on. I respect the university's decision. When somebody tells you it's time to move on, in my mind, you do that. |
I felt like that gave us the best opportunity to win. There are no after-affects. I absolutely expect Thomas to start and play great basketball against Baylor. |
I got into this business to guide kids and mentor and coach them. Although the wins and losses are not secondary, they dictate whether you get questions asked about the resignation or not. It?s never been suggested to me. There?s been plenty of times that option could have come up. |
