We're not in position to think, ‘We're Stanford, we can show up and they're going to lay down for us,'

It's not in the hip area, but it's slowed him down a little.

I'm going to miss Ted because I think we have a lot of common belief about how to get the job done. I'm sad in some ways because we need that guy in our corner, but I'm extremely happy for him because I know what a great place Pacific is, and I know that he wanted to do it. I'm a Ted Leland fan. I can put my job second and my friendship first.

I think he's probably 80 percent better than he was last spring and 30 percent better than last fall. But he's still got some finishing touches he's got to put on his game. But that's why we practice.

I think we still don't know for sure where he's at physically. We know he's not ready to come back yet. [We don't know] whether he will be before the end of the season. But we're getting to a point where he's going to have to start playing to get ready to play for the rest of the year. I don't know. It's really hard to determine at this point.

What you try to do is be in a position by 2 p.m. on Sunday so that if you're the chair, the rest of us can quiz you on why Minnesota is in or why not or why Georgetown got picked over Rutgers in a given year so that when Billy Packer is asking you those questions, you've at least had a trial run of answering them.
