Our goal as a team is to keep playing as a group for as long as we can because you will never have that team again. It is like a dying limb, you have to prune it off and let another one grow in its place. That is the way you have to do it, but it still hurts losing these guys and that team because they and you have put so much effort into building a team. Even if you win that last game (and a national championship), it hurts badly because the players know they will never have that same special group of guys together on the same team again. Somebody always goes and somebody new always comes in.

If it comes down to you or the program that decision was made long ago.

We painted a beautiful picture, but we just didn't finish it. Finishing is the difference between a beautiful picture and a masterpiece.

Sometimes the best recruits are the ones you don't get.

Discipline and demand without being demeaning.

Proper prior planning prevents pitiful poor performance.

If I cover my head with my hands, it means deny the ball to the opponent's ball handler.
