I'm extremely proud. We talked this morning and everything he said he wanted this team to do, it's done. It's really amazing to see.
He's not 100 percent. First it's the ankle, now it's leg cramps. He's been a little unlucky this year.
I deserved a 'T'. I was trying to get our guys (motivated). It was a good call.
This is a very difficult conference. I don't think anyone in Louisville besides me knew that. Now they all know.
The new format is great. It's run just like the women's tournament used to be.
It's a big hindrance. If we were playing in the Maui Classic, we'd be in seriously bad shape. But we're not. We're starting at home. We think we can withstand these injuries.
They're going to have to get a coach as good as Bob Huggins, and that's not easy to find. But if they can attract someone of the caliber of Bob Huggins, they can certainly continue.
It worked OK. It was to our favor. The only problem is our point guard (Andre McGee) is breaking down physically. He's doing a good job, but he's wearing out.
They are tough, they get after you. They have quick hands and are hard-nosed. They drive so much and draw fouls. I am impressed with them. They have the toughness to compete in the Big East. They are tough guys.
When you describe passion at any age, passion is derived from everything, from the people you work with to enjoying the last years.
People with high self esteem are risk takers, but more importantly, they are achievers.
He knew I enjoyed the relationships of college basketball. All along, he was the wise one.
You are trying not only to reach your potential but to move beyond it. If you are not in the best shape you can be, these things simply become more difficult to achieve.
Every individual in an organization is motivated by something different.
