He picks us up with intensity, and everybody kind of jumps on his back, and I think that's why we had the season we had.

If he can get himself back close to 100 percent we're a lot better team.

He's really pushed the ball. Last year he had a tendency to go more east and west. This year he's going vertical.

I had been frustrated for my first 11 or 12 years that I hadn't been doing enough in the area of teaching values through sports. In 1978, the word 'We' popped into my head. . . . I really feel like 'We' is an answer to almost anything. It is the essence of humanity. Where are our greatest joys? Family and friends. The greatest hurts in life are the absence of 'We.' It's the best way to play the game, but also the best way to live.

If you nominate a guy, he'll be on that list. They're not really considered for the team. That selection process began a year and a half in advance . . . The players think they're being considered but they're not.

They've got three or four guys who can shoot 3s with anybody. They played a heck of a game.

It's been crazy around here. The principal bought 800 championship T-shirts and they're giving them out to everybody.

Eight out of the 10 times we've gone, we've finished in the top five. It's become the No. 1 accomplishment of our program.

Daniel's intensity and how hard he plays is the heart of our team. Because of his intensity, everyone else jumps on his back, and they go.
