This was the easiest team to coach because these guys were the most focused group. We had no off-court issues and no problems of any kind in terms of trying to motivate.

I'm fortunate to coach an unbelievable group of guys who have been totally selfless. They've been all about the team, and all about winning. ... I'm happy that I can be a part of the first-ever national championship.

This team has been such a great group to coach because they're so locked in on their goal. They all have colds and sore throats, but there are seven other teams right now. If you have a cold or sore throat that's not what you're going to remember in two months.

We have a group of great guys, ... We don?t have any egos on this team. We don?t have any jerks on this team. We have a group of guys that makes it fun for everybody to come to work every day.

He's become like a coach on the court.

We have a good defensive team. You have a good group of guys who made the team defensively so I wasn't surprised we went out there and played well.
