The thing about him is he's going to go somewhere to play basketball, but also use it to get him a good education. And as good of a player as he is, he's a better kid.

It's absolutely terrific to play in front of a crowd like this. It's the way high school basketball is supposed to be played. The band, the fans and the energy, it was great.

After 18 years of coaching, he's the best player I've ever coached and the best kid I've ever been around.

After those two tough games, I felt like our kids got through this one on guts alone. I told several people that if anything, this tournament showed us our true character.

They want me playing outside hitter and back row. They told me if I work hard and play well I can be one of the starters. But I have to prove myself in order to do that.

He was a basketball junkie. Having his son play in this conference [the ACC] and be productive in this conference I think was something that was really special to him.
