No matter what happens, I feel that in my heart, that this is a great program. We're going to be -- it's hard to put into words, man. It's tough, but we are going to bounce back.

I wanted to be aggressive. I have talked with (assistant) coach ( Mike ) Jackson about being aggressive for 40 minutes. And that's what I tried to do.

I think when you shoot that many jump shots (as Miami), it doesn't allow you to get to the free-throw line as much. Getting to the free-throw line is a point of emphasis for our program.

It bothers me, because it's not on him. The team didn't perform like we should have. And to read articles about him like that makes me mad. I can't say the things I think when I read those things, but it really hurts me. It's gut-wrenching sometimes.

I think we've done a great job of building a legacy.

Being a good free throw-shooting team has always been a point of emphasis for this program. We work on free throws in game situations as well. It is a big staple of this program.
