I've been blessed. I got to live the American dream when I was coaching, and I continue to live the American dream. Without basketball in my life, I don't know what I would have wound up doing.

Coaching at Kentucky is not something you want to do for 20 years. You'd probably be dead. ... It's such a pressure cooker.

There's one reason they treat him like this because he's a superstar.

This team is really intriguing. When they play well they are almost unbeatable. The biggest thing I see about these guys is they are complementary players. They go well together, and that doesn't easily happen, especially for guards.

I'm really looking forward to coming to Miami because I want to see if they're for real.

Yeah. But I'll be changing that as the season goes along.
