Leonard Hamilton Process Quotations

I am so confused by this whole process that I think the best thing for me as a basketball coach to do is worry about the things I can control. And that's to make sure we get through today's practice and we're prepared for Wake Forest.

We totally recognize the fact that now it's time to move on and move toward preparing ourselves ... to play in the NIT. This is part of the development process of any team. You go through the highs and lows and disappointments along the way.

It appears to me that what has happened is there is a big emphasis on trying to include more mid-major (conference) teams (in tournament). And I understand that. But if we want to include other people, I'm not sure the right thing to do is come up with a process that devalues the strength of a team's conference schedule.

Unfortunately we have shown signs of not being mature enough sometimes. To climb we always seem to have to take a little step back before we take the next jump. Sometimes that's part of the development process you go through when you're building basketball programs.

We have a clear understanding of the NCAA rules and understand how this process works. We will make sure that Alexander and his family have all of that information available to them during this process.

This is part of the journey. This is part of the process you go through, building programs. You have to give your team credit for making this kind of progress, but you also have to find a way to get over the hump, and that's mostly mental at this point.
