Dave Bliss Quotations

I don't deserve a chance to coach in college again because I abused my opportunity. The only thing I know now is that my heart is back in the right place.

I don't think anybody goes into the season and says, 'Hey, we want to make the NIT,' but it's still a mark of progress. It's still something to build off.

For us to be perceived as having a drug problem, it couldn't be further from the truth. There may be an individual that has certain problems, I don't know about that, but I do know we have one of the most sound and supportive drug policies.

He gets the really fluky rebounds. Just getting possession and getting touches is key for a big man.

He's a lot stronger than most of his opponents at point guard. So that gives him a big advantage, and he's quick to the ball. Any of those balls that bounce around a lot, he usually comes up with those. He's got a nose for the ball.

We get along off the court, but you have to get used to how everyone plays. We have to adjust as a team and get that chemistry.

We were just trying to stand straight up. He kept getting to the free throw line regardless. We were trying to deny him the ball but that didn't work.

We play some pretty good teams in that time so we have a chance to pick up some pretty good wins.

The one time she didn't get a hit was an error, and she basically knocked the shortstop over backwards. She was just ripping the ball tonight.

We kind of approach it like a triangle, like we know who our top picks are, but down from there, we've got to be flexible.

This was a big step for us because it keeps us in that range of .500 (in the conference).

We were only down about three and we started taking some hurried shots. I was disappointed we didn't stay solid.

We just could not deny him the ball.

We just wanted to work on playing inside more. You can get a lot more easy shots that way.

We just tried to stand straight up, but he kept getting to the free throw line. We just could not deny him the basketball.

A lot of it is shot selection. When the other team makes a couple shots, you have to buckle down and get something good on offense instead of firing up the first thing you see. We don't always do that.

It seems like we've gone months where we didn't hit 16 3s.

I made a mistake and I'm grateful for the second chance. I'm humbled about what I did. Selfishness and ambition played a large role in what I did.

I have no understanding how I got to that point. In a panic situation, you don't always make good decisions.

He's still with us, but he's hoping that it works out for him to have one of these other offers.
