We were comfortable with the home court advantage and went out there and had fun. As a coach, I'm delighted. I can't really explain my feelings at this time. I thank God that the players showed the heart and willingness.

Work is much more fun than fun.

It was fun to make that pact. I knew it probably wouldn't last, and I can't fault those guys. Those guys are in a situation where they can make a living for their families, and they went out on top. They went out as national champions. You can't get much better than that.

We did not want to go home.

It was fun. I guess they had a good time with it.

Right now, it's still fun to have all these things to do. I don't have too much more to do. Once the season starts it may be a little hectic, but I'm going to be the same person regardless. I consider it to be a blessing.
