Jim Calhoun Incredibly Quotations

I see nothing but greatness ahead for him and therefore it made sense for all of us. There's no question that Rudy will fulfill the promise of those people who draft him. He's got every attribute. He's bright, he's a wonderful person, incredibly well raised and he's just a tremendously, tremendously talented young guy.

Rudy needs to be more assertive. He's an incredibly talented kid, but he's a young kid. Today he was assertive and made his moves. At times today he was unstoppable.

As far as we're concerned, we're incredibly happy to be a No. 1 seed. Obviously, I don't think anything we did changed us from being the overall No. 1. I think it's what Duke did.

The bottom line is that I'd rather let the kids play on. Kids are going to get emotional in a game like that and I don't think Brandon or Rudy were trying to do anything more. It was such an incredibly intense game, they just kind of got into each other a little bit. They were not doing anything.

I told him he has to be more assertive. He's an incredibly talented kid but a very young kid. I think at times he's unstoppable.

It?s not Rashad?s fault, trust me. Whatever we ask our kids to do, it?s our responsibility. We make the choice of who plays who. ... I?m incredibly, incredibly disappointed in the loss, incredibly disappointed in myself. I would have changed a couple of things probably the last two, three minutes of the game and into overtime.

It's incredibly needed on this basketball team. He is our inside threat right now.

I'm incredibly sad to have to face this group because I've told everybody how much I love them and how much I'm going to miss them. I miss them right now. I don't want them to leave. They are great kids.

I think all 12 teams in this tournament are capable of playing in the NCAA tournament and doing well in the NCAA tournament. That is incredibly rare.

I don't know if there's anything he can't do. He can coach, he's obviously going to represent a university as well as anybody I know. He's a tremendous person. He's incredibly bright. He's got the respect of the kids. He can be, in his own way, very tough. He's got as much energy as anybody can have.

He's an incredibly talented kid but he's a very young kid. I said the other day I would like to keep him another year. I'd like to keep him another two years if I possibly could.

He's an incredibly gifted kid with great potential who probably needs to come back next year but can't, because he's going to be drafted in the top five, probably. He can't come back and pass on millions and millions of dollars. That's our system. I hate it, but I'm going to tell him if he's going to be in the top five, which I keep hearing, he needs to go.
