I've got eight or nine guys who know they're going to play. Who plays the most depends on who plays the best. I think it's a pretty simple thing for us. As long as our team wins. |
I've heard some wild stories that Duke didn't like it because they were booed by our fans when they went down there (to Charlotte) to work out. Maybe somebody didn't like that. I don't know. I hope that's not the case. I would hope that would not influence the procedure. You hear all kinds of crazy things when Duke and Carolina are involved. I would hope that doesn't have anything to do with it. |
I've never had that even though I've had two guards who've been the two leading scorers. I've always had other guys who can score. It's amazing what they've accomplished. They've had a heck of a good year. |
I've rarely watched film of T.O. or Jerry, |
I've said all year long that Virginia Tech is one of three or four best teams in the league. I really believe that, and I said that before they were a 45-footer away from beating Duke at Duke. ... I think they're an NCAA Tournament team at the end of the year, and I strongly believe that. |
I've seen a lot of teams, including Kansas last year, go far after they struggled in their first games. You have to get by and get lucky sometimes. We have to play better Saturday. We have no hope, no chance if we don't play better Saturday. |
If he was any better looking, I'd want to kiss him after every game. I've never seen a freshman more focused. |
If I don't fumble, we win the ballgame. I'm the one who cost us the ballgame. But we have to live with it now. This put something in us. We just have to win every week. This is business. This is real. |
If I ever have one of my teams quit, I will walk out of here and stop coaching. None of our guys are ever going to quit. |
If I get put in the same position, would I make the same tackle? ... Yes. I've been doing it since I was a little kid. It's a secure tackle. I do what I have to do. A tackle is a tackle. You've been taught to bring down an opponent by any means necessary. |
If it's a changing of the guard, so be it. … But we aren't going to fold up. |
If people had seen and truly understood what he has meant to us behind the scenes, he may have made the first team. |
If there's anything to that, ... it's going to be very bad, because it's taking money from a struggling black institution. |
If you shoot 20 times, you ought to score. That's what I told him. Eat with your left hand -- your right shoulder has got to be tired. That's a lot of shots. |
If you talk for one minute about 400 wins, you need to talk about good kids. You need to talk about kids who have tried to do things the right way and represent this university well. |
