To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation

I hate casual shooting. Every shot is preceded by working to get open and catch and shoot under game like conditions

Writing was far more of an art in the sports world than it is now.

I'd probably be better off without trying to satisfy me, with my sense of humor. There are things that I have said that are funny to me, but they weren't to somebody in the press. So that hasn't worked to my benefit.

My overall point is that 'one and dones' are not healthy for college basketball. I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize.

When we're playing a good scoring center, we tell our team that it is not our defensive man's job to stop the center. It's the responsibility of our perimeter people to stop the ball from going inside.

Good basketball always starts with good defense!
