And I don't mean that in a mean way.

The atmosphere is far most positive because of the results. La Salle has an unbelievable basketball tradition. Our other peers in the city, St. Joe's, Temple, Penn and Villanova, have consistently been strong. We've had an inferiority complex with seeing our peers being in the postseason every year.

I've never quite been a peer of Donald [Trump]. When I knew him it was more in a social way. We were single at kind of the same time.
