Jeff Capell Quotations

I am very excited about remaining at VCU. We have done so many great things and have built such a strong foundation with the help of all the VCU fans. It is truly an honor to be part of such a remarkable program.

He's good. When you have a guy like that who is that good offensively, then compliment the fact that he has an ultimate green light, he is going to play every minute. There is no such thing as a bad shot for him (and) that makes guys like that even more difficult to guard.

Jamal can do that. He can score points in bunches.

Jesse was very determined, you can tell by the way he played.

That didn't deter me or anything from wanting this job.

That's the strength of their team - their post guys. Those guys are very, very physical. They post hard, they play hard. They do a great job of creating space and getting angles. We had that two years ago when we had Godwin. That's why we were so good. He was a load to guard down low, and he opened things up for our guards.

We haven't decided. We'll get together and talk and figure out a decision, whatever it is, that's best for everyone involved.

We were able to make plays down the stretch. We showed our character and toughness.

We feel like the lawsuit was filed prematurely. They don't take possession of the facility until June 1, and the city's stance has always been not to worry, a functional equivalent will be available.

It would be good to get a road win. Most importantly, to me, is to perform well and go into the tournament feeling good about ourselves.

They played harder than us. Actually, I thought they outplayed us. I'm not pleased with how we played and our effort.

Any time you have a change like this this late in the year, it's tough. But we're going to survive it. We're going to survive it and we're going to come out a better program because of it. I'm a big believer you learn a lot through adversity. You learn a lot from everything. Everything's a chance to learn and get better.

I'm glad he had the game he did. If not, it would probably have been a different game as hard as (William and Mary) played. They definitely played harder than us.

I know that this announcement in the college basketball world is shocking. But I know, and I have all the confidence, that it is the right decision. I know it's the right decision for me.
