Jay Wright Randy Quotations

He did that his whole high school career. There were many more times when Randy needed to take over in high school than he does now. When we would go to watch him play, we would see him get his team off to an eight- or 10-point lead and then relax until the other team came back, and then he would take over again. He did that his whole high school career. It?s been our biggest challenge with him, but it?s also what makes him such a special player. No matter what went on prior in the game, when the game is on the line, he?s ready to take over.

And then to see Randy carry the flag into that stadium with 80,000 people. I could see how much confidence he had. He was growing up right in front of my eyes and was ready to take on the season.

That's the beauty of this team. We have a lot of guys who have the ability to score, but give it up because of the other guys. And then when they're needed, they'll do it. Like tonight, we needed Mike and Kyle to score and they did. Randy gets 10 rebounds tonight and he's in foul trouble and he doesn't care because we won. It's a fun team to coach.

That's the advantage of having seniors, we know that Randy and Allen are going to make those big plays when we need them.

Their unselfishness is the reason we can play Randy at the power forward and Allan at the small forward. They just want to win.
