Dan Dakich Ball Quotations

I've got a lot of respect for them. They got beat all day by Toledo, by 30. They looked bad. And then they played Central Michigan, and they pull out a win. In the Ball State game, they played great.

I tell kids, I'm not going to coach you like a 'mid-major' basketball player. You're going to be coached like Indiana when I was there.

We substituted and we didn't get much out of that. We talked before the game about how guys are going to have to come in and really compete and I didn't think anybody we brought into the basketball game, until the end of the game, helped us.

At the end of the day, they were a far more mature team playing basketball than we were.

I understand people's concerns and I understand the perception of things, and I don't like it because I don't want any kid ever to leave. It comes to maturity, and comes to understanding college basketball isn't the easiest thing in the world.
