Quotations

«The Information-Sharing Environment is overly ambitious, ... It is one of those vague mandates that will drift into nothingness.»

«[Despite the setback of his toe injury, Lucas?continues to?improve this year.] He keeps breaking barriers for himself, ... Sometimes you don't see how it could possibly go in. It's almost like the ball has eyes. It's like it appreciates how softly he shoots it and wants to go in for him.»

«It wasn't that he had a bad attitude. He had no attitude. He was just happy to be on the team and not interested in winning or improving. He didn't understand how hard you had to work in practice at this level. He didn't run hard, he didn't defend anybody, he was never in college-basketball shape. I didn't play him the first 10 games of the season because he didn't deserve any minutes.»

«He'll need some time to heal, and then he'll get back into things. There's no question he'll be behind, however. I feel really bad for Josh because he has worked so hard and he is so passionate about the game and his development.»

«We've prepared ourselves, and we've made progress as a team through 11 games. We haven't played a team like that in respect to changing defenses all the time. To recognize defenses all the time and play a game with only eight turnovers, I thought we did a good job with our patience.»

«I'm pleased with how he's playing and the efficiency level we're getting from the big guys. They are in a good rhythm with each other. I'm pleased with how they are coming together and working together.»

«Shoot, he plays every position on the court. He's just a guy who hurts you in whatever position he plays no matter who guards him.»

«That's the unfortunate thing is that we needed him right away, and he helped us right away. Now you are seeing a balance of strength in his body, catching up to handle the rigors of constant pounding. You see him at full strength now. I think Kyle will continue to get better. With more minutes you should see productivity increase because he can be on the floor longer and play harder. He's not favoring a knee or something like that. He's probably going to have the other shoulder fixed after the season. So he's going to deal with that a little longer. But the lower body for the first time in his career is actually not failing him.»

«Winning is so hard - period. At this point, it doesn't really matter who you are playing. Every time we played Arizona maybe I thought about it more because of who it is. But now it's just an opponent.»

«It feels empty because it was an opportunity wasted for us.»
