Charlie Coles Quotations

I think it's a great thing. They keep taking and taking and taking from P.E. and you can see it in our kids, they're getting fatter and fatter and fatter.

I think it hurt us on the offensive end a lot. He not only scores for us, he's one of those guys that's always active. He's always doing something. He's a decent passer; he really moves and gets things going.

We never had a chance tonight. I told our players that we didn't know how quick they were.

It means a lot. We are able to get a little national prestige ... It gives our seniors a chance to improve on their last performance, and it gives our guys coming back one more game this year.

I was more concerned with winning this game, hoping our guys could bounce back, than I was with any jinx. I was more concerned with how we came out and played after that loss to Kent (State).

They tried White on Hatcher, and that would have been fine if it was just about keeping Hatcher from scoring. What Muhammad did, he made him use all the energy in the world and now you have Downey off the ball. I thought that was a big difference in the game, great strategy by Andy Kennedy.

They ran a great play and we were out of position and couldn't get the rebound.

The thing I'm trying to do is get him to close it out real good. You always want your seniors to want to play and still be hungry, and he looks like he's more hungry now than he's ever been.

Let me say this about him. He might be the most intelligent kid on the team in terms of basketball. He's got great basketball sense. He's got a great basketball IQ.

I probably should've put (Hatcher) on Fortes (earlier). He was wild.
