basketball credit entire putting throughout
The thing I give Quincy credit for, throughout the entire ordeal, is that Quincy never wavered. Quincy wanted to be here, because there are other things here for him, putting basketball aside.
clear five focus four hurt intent next team
I wanted to clear the air. I wanted everyone to know my intent and have my team able to focus on the next four or five games, if we have that many, and not have them hurt in this process.
abandoned bad felt looks team
I felt so bad because this is my team and it looks like I abandoned them. I made a bad choice.
farmer gave win
If Farmer can come out and give some things like he gave today, we can win some games.
clean match move program stay time
I feel it's time to move on. My stay here was very good, and it's time to move on. They told me to clean up this program and I did that. It just wasn't the right match in my estimation.
finish season
I feel it is important for me to finish out the season for the kids.
good happening
I don't like to get into that, because I don't really know what has happening there, but it was not a good situation.
ask great honest jersey job
I do know he can do more than just recruit. He's done a great job here to be honest with you. I couldn't ask for a better person to be with. He'll succeed. He's from New Jersey and you need that here.
bond handle means prepared special tough
I do have a special bond with (Webb) because he means so much to me. And I know for him it's tough (that I'm leaving). But we've prepared him to be a leader. He's able to handle these things much better.
against continues help man night scoring teams
You take the young man at Marquette (Steve Novak), he went to a big night against Connecticut - Quincy is consistently scoring in the 20s; if he continues to do that, I know it can only help us. But I know teams are going to try to take him away from us.
bring depth excel factor guys keeps level major ncaa quality stay teams tournament
The kind of depth they have is quality depth. They stay at the same level when they bring guys in off the bench. It keeps teams at bay. It's been a major factor in their success. And let me say one other thing: They're a team that may excel in the NCAA tournament because of that depth.
call kids monumental people playing
It was monumental if you want to call it that. It was something I think our kids wanted and a lot of people are going to say they're playing for me. No, they're playing for themselves.
credit ordeal statements throughout
I've got to give Quincy credit throughout that whole ordeal because he never wavered. All these statements didn't come from Quincy. Quincy wanted to be here.
