He was never, ever anything but humble, good character, the perfect role model - all those kind of things, that was Calvin. In fact, he helped me attract several other outstanding athletes to Alabama because of the way Calvin was and what they saw in him. |
He was one of those guys who believed in hard work, and he was one of the smartest people you ever met. Terry was a feisty guy. You'll find a lot of people who didn't like him. But it's a great loss to the community of someone of his energy and intellect. |
He was pitching in games just a few days ago. But we want to be cautious. When you put people in the stands and other-colored uniforms out there, with that competitive spirit these guys have they're going to go full tilt. That's probably what caused this. |
He was pulling triggers, and I could feel if I didn't step up my game he was going to control what was going on out there, ... It was a high quality first set. I snuck a break out of nowhere. I knew I had to lift my game, and I did as the match continued. |
He was real quiet the first part of the work. He got a lot of sand in his face. He grabbed the bit a little at the 4 1/2, but then he went nice and easy. I wanted to keep him relaxed. We don't need fast works now. We want to be fast on Saturday the sixth. |
He wasn't just a fire chief, he was a very good man, a spiritual person, very thoughtful. He certainly deserves this and, as the the mayor says, this is a person who came from the community and came all the way through this department to make it to chief. |
He's a great student, just a rock-solid kid. He battled a bunch of injuries early on. He broke a foot. He broke his back his sophomore year. He struggled this year. ... but it's gotten down to crunch time and he's stepped up for us. It's been neat to see. |
He's a sparkplug for the whole defense. Even if the team's down and out, if somebody comes and just knocks somebody out, it can change the momentum instantly. That's the type of player he is. He brings it every play, and he can really change the momentum. |
He's an intelligent guy. He's very good with mechanics. He's particularly good with putting together game plans on how to pitch the opposition -- utilizing his pitchers' strengths more than opposing hitters' weaknesses, which is a good way to go about it. |
He's done a good job the two or three times we have put him in that role and it's helped us win three games. That is the most important thing. If he can fit into that and do that and if that is what it takes for us to win games, then that's what we'll do. |
He's going to come right out and tell us everything he knows. Just a heads-up on ways you can attack their technique, which guys like contact and which guys don't. You can get that from film as the game wears on, but he's giving you a heads-up beforehand. |
He's just one of those guys who really likes to play the game, and he's talented, too. That's a pretty good combo. He does the types of things that he needs to get those points. We all know that he doesn't get too many freebies -- that guy earns his keep. |
He's made me a better player over four seasons. All summer, we played pick-up basketball and we'd match up against one another. When I penetrate to the basket, there are times when he stops me. His ability to guard big men and small guys definitely helps. |
He's not going to do that, and we don't miss him, by the way. And if you go out there and ask any one of my players or staff members, we don't miss him. We don't miss the attitude; we don't miss the whining. We don't miss it. Good riddance. See you later. |
He's really a very skilled politician - an extremely good speaker, good at diplomacy, and he works hard and does his homework. But his weakness is lack of credibility - the public perception that he lies to those around him, that under pressure he panics. |
