decision knew program suited trying ways worry
I knew what his aspirations were and I had to make a decision in my mind: 'Do I worry about what his aspirations are or am I trying to make this program better?' And when I thought about the ways to make this program better, there was no better person suited for that position.
advice best decision future jack knows learn loyal millions offer people wait wants worry
Quincy is a loyal person and that's what people don't realize. That's why he's been with Jack so long. The thing Quincy knows is he still has a lot to learn and he wants to graduate. If someone is going to offer him millions upon millions, I have to be honest. I'll give him the best advice of what his future will be if he makes that decision (but) we'll wait because I don't want him to worry about this now.
execute late
We've got to execute defensively late in games. That's what's killed us.
game gave opportunity taking whitney
Without taking him away you don't have an opportunity. Our game plan, to take Whitney away, gave us an opportunity with this team.
atmosphere exciting
This (tournament) is as exciting as it gets. This kind of atmosphere is what you play for.

There are really not any state guidelines on who can and cannot be a sonographer. What's lacking here is that virtually anybody can buy an X-ray machine and say that they do sonography.
court dominated kids shooting situations team time understand
This was the first time we dominated a team with Quincy not shooting well. These kids now understand what to do on the court in situations and they'll compete.
both deserved entire extremely fought hard teams throughout
This was a very, very, I want to say entertaining, but more so, hard-fought contest. Both teams fought extremely hard throughout the entire game. We feel we deserved to win, but they feel the same.
basketball came crap game kids lost relief running worry
You don't know how much of a relief (it was). I thought our kids came out and relaxed. We lost a game (to St. John's) the other day when there was too much other crap running around out there. This time, they could just play basketball and not worry about other things.
best gotta scary seen three time walks
You gotta understand, I've been with him for three years and I've seen a lot of things go down. The thing I do know is he's getting better and better each time he walks on the floor. And I don't know if we've seen the best of him yet. That's the scary part of this whole thing.
challenge double guys team type
We're the type of team that at times it's a challenge for us to score. What I tell my team is we want two other guys to (score) double figures. We don't know who that may be, we just need two other guys to contribute.
beat double gray guard leaves teams tough
We just got beat by a better team. When they go bad, they can always go in to Gray and you have to guard him. Most teams will double him, and that leaves someone else open. That makes them tough to beat.
best five games guys heart job kids played playing three
We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.
basketball game lost relax time worry
We lost a game the other day because we couldn't focus. There was too much other (stuff) going around out there. This time they could relax and just play basketball and not worry about things.
