He's not going to post those guys up. They're older, and they know how to push you around. He doesn't have to play with his back to the basket. He's really a good face-up shooter. |
He's very quiet, not a very emotional person. |
Herb hasn't been appreciated the way he should be appreciated. He deserves more than the way he's been treated. He has poured everything he has into the job. I don't think they could find a better coach for their program. |
His versatility is what separates him. There's not really a part of the game he can't handle. |
How do I know? I can't predict it. They know there's a Big 12 championship on the line. I know that. And I know we can't be afraid to go at it. But the worst thing you can do right now is try to overanalyze it. |
I am obviously a better-looking guy than he is. If we play basketball he wasn't very good; but the reason he does all the loose-ball drills is because that's how he had to get on the court as a player. But if it got down to he and I playing, it won't be a rivalry. To have a rivalry you have got to split some games, and he would never win a game from me. |
I can't talk about it. I don't think it's official. |
I didn't know how P.J. would react. What he went through the other night was tough. We spent a lot of time to tell him he could bounce back. I told him the best thing would be to get lost in the game defensively and thought he was really good. |
I didn't think inside we handled the pressure and the physicality of the play. |
I didn't think we were aggressive enough offensively. We knew they were going to come with pressure, we felt like we should attack that pressure. |
I didn't think we were aggressive enough. I didn't think we were attacking the ball like we needed to. We knew they were going to come with pressure. |
I don't know a freshman who has had more put on him. He's had a big target on him. He has handled things extremely well. |
I don't know if anyone can really understand the stress of coaches until you go through it. I love this business, as we all do, but it's a tough profession. There's a lot of stress. |
I don't know if guys have to quit, but it does help that P.J. is going to class, |
I don't know if I would call it a wishbone more than I would call it that Fun 'n' Gun because they spread you out. They're going to shoot 25 threes. They make more threes than any team in the country. It's almost like playing against a no-huddle offense. |
