For them to have the season that they had, for them to have us on the ropes ... Congrats to the Cavs.
We had a lot of luck this year and our guys took advantage. Wow. What a night.
I want to say congratulations to Cleveland and Coach Blatt. LeBron is an incredible player.
Yeah, I know there's been all this talk this year especially about the 3-point shot and can you win shooting it. There's a lot of different styles that can work. You have to base it on your own personnel.
I can't believe how lucky I am.
I'm just thrilled for so many people. Our players, mostly, but the people in our organization - Rick Welts, Joe Lacob and Peter Guber and the whole group. It's just a phenomenal group of people. I think as a coach you just appreciate kind of the big picture a little bit more.
Our team, because of our depth and our talent, we were able to do that, and it turned into a special season as a result.
We didn't do much different against LeBron. We were just more active and more competitive.
It's different as a coach because you feel responsible for a lot of people. Even though you don't take a shot, you don't get a rebound, you feel like you just want people to succeed and you want to help them any way you can.
Isn't that great? You play 15 years, average six points a game and they call you a legend when you show up at All-Star weekend. I won't correct it if they run it. I'll just go with it.
The worst game I ever played was in the Final Four, and to be honest, I still think about it 18 years later. It's about the only game I ever think about from my entire career, but it's so fresh in my mind because it was so painful.
So much youth basketball is being played around the world, in countries everywhere. And the sheer volume of kids means that Winthrop and Monmouth can get some pretty good players.
We couldn't make it in practice. We missed probably 20 straight. I'm thinking, 'This is trouble. We're not going to do very well.' And then he makes the first one.
Most of them really aren't a factor. Even (Tracy) McGrady and Kobe (Bryant) didn't light it up their first year.
