It's not a shock. But I thought it would take longer.

The liquor issues were just a symptom of the overall problem. Mayor Koos was very fair. I was surprised, shocked and pleased with the mayor's generosity.

I thought (Bethune) got a lot of good looks down the stretch that they usually knock down, that I've seen them knock down over and over again. I thought that the difference was the fact that they didn't get any second looks.

I'm really proud of the way they stepped up. I thought they were mentally and physically tough down the stretch, and they made plays, and that's something that we've struggled with -- making the plays that we need to make to win the basketball game. I thought they did that tonight.

We thought he'd go on and win it when he got in front in the stretch. He'd never gone that far before, or carried more weight, but those are just excuses, and I don't want to make excuses. We thought he'd win.

Steve is the most competitive guy I've ever had in 26 years of coaching. I really thought he'd be this good because he's such a competitor.
