Coaches Quotes
I have been involved with situations where coaches have left, and there has been a transition of coaching staffs, where I've had abandonment of some team players. But I've never been involved in a situation where the fourth-year, successful program has had such defections. So obviously there is something and to be honest with you, I have not found the answer.
-
Basketball Quotes
I have never been more excited and energized about a head coaching appointment in my career than I am with the hiring of Ben Jacobson as our men's basketball coach. Ben is ready to take this step. He has the support of the current team and our recruiting class and he will do a great job of maintaining the excellence that we have built in our men's basketball program.
-
Attack Quotes
I give all the credit to the coaching staff and my teammates, because they always encourage me to do well, whether it's in practice or in a game. They believe I can get out there and make plays, and when I get going, everybody is pumping me up, trying to have me continue to attack and play well.
-
Basketball Quotes
I find myself very lucky to have this job, and I just want to go out and do it. Coaching in the ACC is privilege, and I've tried not to look at it as a hardship. This is a talented basketball team we have. We shouldn't be 3-8, but we are. We've got to try to do something about it here down the stretch.

Across Quotes
I first came across Phil Larder in his rugby league days. He was the Director of Coaching at the Rugby League and we had a difference of opinion. Let's just say that I wanted to be an innovator and not an imitator. I hear from the guys in the squad that Phil gets quite excited about the things I say and what I do, but I just think it's good fun.
-
Applaud Quotes
I feel so good, (even) with my own sadness. I can only imagine, and probably better than most, the feeling they must have in that locker room and on that campus. Those kids, many of them were passed over by Big East schools and others, and I tip my hat to their courage ... to the incredible coaching job that Jimmy did and to everybody at George Mason University. ... I applaud them. I share in some degree Jimmy's joy because as a friend, I know what he must be feeling in his heart.
-
Football Quotes
I can't say enough about the way we played tonight. I am very, very proud of our guys. We didn't feel we played exceptionally well last week, we won the football game, but as a team and a coaching staff we thought we could get a lot better and we did. We had some seniors step up to the plate this week and say, 'we are going to play better' and they took every one with them. That's what it takes.
-
Adjusting Quotes
I can't make any excuses up. As a coaching staff, we have not done a good enough job of adjusting to the things we need to adjust to, whether it be the schedule, whether it be an injury, whether it be end-of-the game situations with guys tired or not tired. We've got to find a way to do a better job, because we're a good enough team to get it done.
-
Camp Quotes
I don't think we're there yet. I think this is really the first time at training camp that it's meant as much as it has in a lot of years for this team. Not only the new NHL and the new rules, but obviously the new coach and the different coaching philosophy, but I think guys are getting there.
-
Ability Quotes
Glenn, Kyle and Eddie (Miller) are our three veteran guards and they're all playmakers. If you put the ball in their hands, they make coaching a lot easier. They make plays for themselves and others. And Glenn, he has the ability to be as good as any guard in our league, and I truly believe that.
-
Credit Quotes
Glenn is the one who gets us up. He is the one who is preparing the team, who is coaching us and who is talking to us before and after games. He deserves all the credit and we now have something to go for for the rest of the season. I can only hope we can repay him and all the supporters.
-
Becoming Quotes
He's had another year of becoming more familiar with the personnel, more familiar with what he has on the offensive side of the ball, but I think Galen is one of the best coaches in the country as far as coaching on game day. He does a great job making adjustments on the fly, and that's a hard skill to do.
-
Box Quotes
He was coaching us through it, ... It's pretty simple. You've got a diamond that represents your line of site. That's the perfect track you want to be on. There's a box, and you want to put your box over the diamond and keep it there. As you're maneuvering the space shuttle you want to stay on that diamond.

Best Quotes
He has a great coach there, a great coaching staff there and I never would have given my blessing to go to Iowa if I didn't think that was a great program with great coaches. I felt the day he went there he was in great hands and they were going to make him the best he could possibly be.
-
Ball Quotes
He did that with passion He was really good, and it didn't matter to him if it was coaching a little league ball team or coaching in a state championship game or the NCAA Tournament. He had so much passion for what he did and he wanted to do it until the end. He felt that was his purpose in life." ()

Basketball Quotes
This wasn't about money because if it was I wouldn't be standing here. You're sitting here and you have a staff and their families, and then you have your other family -- those 13 or 14 basketball players. And at the end of the day there are a lot of young people pinning their hopes on what we do. We have a good group of young people, and I'm ecstatic about coaching them.
-
Atmosphere Quotes
We try to play the game on the practice field. Any time players can feel in a simulated-type atmosphere where it's like a ball game, they like it. Even though it's hard work and it's competitive and all of those things, that's our intent. Fun, or whatever it is, I feel like our players have worked really hard. I think that they've tried to embrace our style of coaching that we've brought.
-
Bar Quotes
To finish in the top 10 would make us confident going into next year that we can go out and play with anyone. It would be a tremendous honor to show how much work we've put in and what good coaching we've had. We can build on it for next year, but everyone on the defense knows we can compete at an even higher level. Hopefully next year we can raise the bar more and be even better.
-
Blend Quotes
He obviously has a track record. He's been successful as a head coach, and that's important. A lot of coaches are good at recruiting. He brings a blend of coaching and recruiting, and that's vital to what we've been trying to achieve. And he brings a great deal of passion and drive to what he does.
-
Example Quotes
He's a leader, not just in statistics, but a true leader on our football team. He leads by example. He's not a rah-rah guy. He's got a real sense of maturity about him. He leads and people follow. He's the kind of kid that makes coaching worthwhile. That's how we all feel about him, and he's having a great year on top of it, individually.
-
Aaron Quotes
He's always bouncing, always in a good mood. Very few people look forward to practice, but I think Aaron Curry does. And when he's out there there's a sense of energy on our defense and everybody gets picked up a little bit. He's one of those kids that you have fun coaching (because) he makes you feel better every time he's around you.
