Tommy Bowden Mean Quotations

This team has developed an identity and I think that demeanor has been good over the open date. As the head coach, I have to make sure that I don't flinch and sit here and try to change a lot of things because obviously we are pretty close. We have to find a way to make one more play.

He's not a normal guy. The fact that he's a professional athlete in one sport means he has some pretty refined skills.

He's a tough guy. He's a mean guy. Whether those are appropriate words to say, I don't know. But again, that's how the game's played, and there's a level we need to play with defensively we haven't reached yet in those aspects.

We're changing the talent level and you really need to be careful about your effort every day and you can lose (your spot). A lot of our talent is younger talent and just because you're an older guy doesn't mean you're going to be guaranteed a slot.

I thought we'd have more full-speed collisions so far, ... He has a toughness, meanness, the personality and demeanor we need. Maybe he'll be in one of those collisions this week.
