You've got to understand, every kid in college basketball, if you ask them where they want to play a game, in the NBA or college, they will tell you Madison Square Garden, a huge percentage.

I never said I'm unhappy about going to the ACC. I'm unhappy the Big East broke up. That's a completely different thing than saying I'm unhappy about going to the ACC.

A lot of coaches get involved in a lot of different things - car dealerships and restaurants and all kinds of things. I've never really done that.

Coaching people, people act differently, respond differently, hear things differently from different people.

A coach coaches. That's what he does. That's what he's good at. He's not managing people. He manages his players, but that's different.

Each Olympics is different with their own great parts to it.

It's not harder to make a couple extra substitutions. That's not hard. You get different things when you make changes, you gain things and you lose things. But overall, if you gain things, that's why you play extra guys.

I don't think we should ever compensate players. I think we can do as much as we can for players. The cost of attendance is good. They get more meals now so they can keep their meal money. I think those are all good things and I think more of those things should have been done. But I don't think you can compensate players straight out.

The thing is 3,900 out of 4,000 college basketball players are very happy to have a scholarship. They're happy. They've got a $70,000 scholarship and they've got money in their pocket. It's the other hundred guys and they're all going to make money playing basketball and the top guys are going to make a lot of money.

I think we can benefit from being in the ACC. It's a great basketball league. If anything, it helps our recruiting.

The NBA has never drafted a player for defense. At any position, even at center.

The thing I hate about writers is they want to state their case and they use false information.
