I told him I had him for a triple-double: 11, 11 and 11. The statistician, when you throw that bad pass to the guy who's surrounded by three people, gives it (turnover) to the guy who drops it. I don't.

I usually don't ask anybody anything. I told him that he had to go out and be much more assertive.

I wrote a letter to him and told him to hurry back, I needed a sparring partner,

We thought he had had enough -- going from Double-A to Triple-A

I think a lot of credit has to go to Louisville when you have a leader out. I'm not sure how well our offense would have been if we didn't have Marcus Williams. Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots. They didn't have that tonight. They worked like crazy.

When he's introduced and he starts that loud scream — I'm sure you can all hear it across the way — he plays the game with great enthusiasm. What a wonderful thing. It really is. It's terrific to see a kid that really enjoys playing.
