Greg Jackson Quotations

We were as fundamentally sound defensively during that stretch as I've ever seen us.

He was young at the time, and drugs and alcohol played a part in that offense.

He feels a great deal of remorse and sorrow for what he did.

We're nowhere near where we were last year. By the grace of God and only by his grace that we were undefeated in this conference and it showed tonight; we're very vulnerable in a lot of different areas and teams are starting to exploit our weakness and hopefully, we can get back to addressing our weaknesses. We're nowhere near the number-one team in the conference, especially the way we played tonight.

We've got to get stronger. With the players coming back and the ones coming in, we've got to get stronger. If we do that, we could have one of the best teams ever at Delaware State.

We've finally got some guys back there who are tough mentally. We've gotten these big interceptions when teams have been driving on us. We've been tired, but we've been able to focus and concentrate.

He didn't give a definitive answer and so I think that disappointed a lot of people.

He just didn't do the things we wanted him to do within the confines of our system. When you don't play within the system, you're going to struggle.

Kids who come here, I see them grow. My philosophy is not winning and losing. When I see a kid like Tracey, it puts this job in perspective.

It hurt us because we didn't know about it until right before game time. We had to adjust our whole game plan. We had a game plan to go to Troy inside.

I thought their defensive intensity in the first 11 or 12 minutes caused us a lot of problems. We didn't make shots and pretty much got away from our game plan. Anytime you play a team at this level and only score 13 points, you're not going to give yourself much of a chance.

My reward is that I can touch their life.

It is clear this man has done everything possible to fit back in to society.

That was tough during our championship year. He realized his chances of playing at another level will be extremely tough, but his education is in the palm of his hands.

That was the worst second half I've ever been associated with. If we don't start playing better, we won't have a chance to get where we were last season.

We do it to try to set a tone. If you get the right chemistry and combinations, we know at halftime exactly what we're up against.

We were simply beat by a better team, a better program across the board. Facing those obstacles, it's hard to overcome.

You had two teams playing a hard game. Who was going to get knocked out first?

We felt the state's case was very weak. In terms of proof, there was none.

The sad thing is, you won't shoot the ball like that every night. He has to understand he has to do more than hit jumpers.

The thing that makes him special is his attitude. You see him out there for 35 minutes and he's not even tired. That's because he's mentally tough and he wants to win.

That's not how we want to play. We almost gave it away. That's not what we'll be playing the rest of the season.

You never know what another person is going through. All of my players are like sons to me. Tracey just needed a little extra attention. Kids like Tracey make it special for me.

They ran up and down, and we needed to rest.

They put a lot of pressure on us and we didn't respond to it.

There's a lot of confusion about insurance, period. This is just going to add to it.

It's obvious they get into transition, but we're not going to run up and down the floor with them. I just hope our team has the legs and drive left to win this game.

It's so hard being down 12-14 points the way we play. We are not a team that is going to come back from that type of deficit. We played catch-up the whole ball game.

Industry leaders such as SAP and Siemens leverage the domain expertise of TCS to deliver world-class solutions to their customers. We are delighted to join these prominent solution suppliers in achieving the objectives of manufacturing customers through collaboration with TCS.

I think our kids showed a lot of character getting back into the ball game. We fell so far behind that we used so much energy getting back into the ball game.

I think our kids learned something from this experience. Anytime you come on this level, and in this place, and lose by 14 and outscore them 41-32 after halftime, it shows we're not a team that's ever going to quit.

He's still learning what to do in the system. He's used to getting up and down the floor. ... He's the kind of player we want to recruit here.

Howard had more patience, and they kind of caught us off guard.

I don't know if you can learn anything at this point in the season. I think now this team just knows how much work it has to do.

I felt we played the type of game we needed to in this conference. We played with more passion in the second half. I was pleased with the defensive effort all night.

For the first time, we had someone go down. It set us back. At halftime, we made some adjustments.

Watching Clay Guida fight is like watching a Tasmanian devil.

I wanted to help people. I was raised by Quaker hippies... True happiness comes from helping others, that's what was pounded in my head from day one... So that began my teaching journey.

There's an old Celtic proverb that I follow: See much, study much, suffer much is the path to wisdom.

The sun will rise tomorrow, even if you get knocked out in 30 seconds.

You have to get comfortable being uncomfortable... so that when we get our 15 minutes in the cage, we don't panic, we don't break down.

You do brutal workouts to get used to suffering so suffering doesn't become a defining deal.

Every day is one day closer to the dirt, so you got to go hard.

Why do people watch fights?... They watch it for inspiration.

I get a huge kick out of training people, out of helping people, out of just being a part of a process that I get to see people's dreams come true.

Humility comes from how you come at the world. Confidence comes from how you come at yourself.

I always look at things as, instead of a problem, how is this an opportunity?

You have to wake up and say, 'I have a fire in me to be better than I am right now.' That's your base.

Your job, with all that mental training and suffering, is just to push your line of breaking so far your opponent can't find it.

Fighters have to be optimists.

These kids deserve to play. We're going there to try to win the championship.
