John Brady Basketball Quotations

That first 20 minutes was as good as I've had a team play. We looked like a real basketball team for 20 minutes.

I think on any given night, any good college basketball team can beat another one, particularly in a tournament situation.

I think Glen Davis is the most unique college basketball player in the country or one of the most unique. He has quick feet and is quick-witted.

There are times during a game when we have five freshmen on the floor. I don't know if there's a younger basketball team in the country at this level.

To question whether Dave Odom can coach a basketball game, that's ludicrous.

They are very smart, very tough, good basketball players who know what they are doing. They are a dangerous team in that they can score baskets easily at any given time.

I'm not pursuing other jobs, but I'm in no hurry to decide anything right now. I'm confident that the people who make those decisions will take care of them. My only request is to be dealt with fairly in terms of salary and a strong commitment to the basketball program.

But he combines power with finesse. He's got great footwork, tremendous hands; he can shoot the ball up to 17, 18 feet good enough. And he can put it on the floor and go by you, so he's pretty much a complete basketball player.

College basketball is something, isn't it? I thought we had the game won on a couple of different occasions when we had 14-point leads. We made some careless turnovers. For about a six minute stretch, we didn't make the proper decisions to close the game out.

If you don't hold your team accountable then you will lose credibility and your team will be spoiled.

You get what you tolerate!

What we do at LSU is to develop players and make them better.

If you want team play, you must stress defense. Defense makes players unselfish.

Criticize on defense and encourage on offense.
