attacks below calling chair
The attacks were inappropriate, they were skewering the chair and calling out the committee. It was way, way off the charts, below the belt. It was unnecessary.
chair entitled proper question
They're entitled to their opinion. I don't think that's the proper forum, to take on the chair and question his integrity. In that situation, I think it was wrong, ... terrible.
knowing miss selection
I miss the selection weekend. Not knowing is agony.
It's very important we back up this season.

advantage buy coach equalize gotta grow kids major might mold money opportunity playing programs solid youth
Money can't buy you a Goliath. It can't buy you an unbeatable team. You gotta have someone who can coach them, someone who can mold them into a unit. You can really equalize things with kids who grow up in a solid program, who become seniors. They have the opportunity to take advantage of the youth and inexperience of some of these major programs that might be playing them in the Tournament.

There's a preponderance of evidence that we're stronger than we've ever been. We have faith in the process.
demand level ourselves raise
It's really helped, I think, to raise the level of officiating. We now look at ourselves differently than we did 15 years ago. We demand more of ourselves.
media national needs obvious
It's pretty obvious the national media needs to take a better look at what we have to offer.
