above david detriment senior turn
No one's ever done anything better than David Noel. Sometimes a senior will say it's my turn, and he'll say it's my turn to the detriment of the team. David Noel has never put anything above his team.
believe call coach gone lost percent seat sort
No one had ever gone through it. We lost 91 percent of our scoring, and I believe 89 percent of our rebounding. I didn't have any coach I could call and ask, 'What did you do?' We've sort of been going by the seat of our pants.
believed best country hope played team unless win

Let's call it what it was. A blowout.

I hate it for Mike, because he was so diligent this past summer in doing what he had to do to join our basketball program,

I hate it for Damion because he was prepared to play this year and had an opportunity to help us, ... From a basketball perspective, it certainly has an impact on our frontcourt depth. We didn't have much to start with, and now we are losing our biggest low-post player.
