Bruce Weber Quotes on Education (12 Quotes)

I know him. He was in my daughter's classes. He was on our campus. We did look at him a little bit coming out of high school.

I feel bad for him. That's one of the bad parts of our profession. It affects your family. People have no sympathy. You say it's college, it's amateur basketball, but it's not. It's sad. But we chose to be in the profession, so we have no one to blame but ourselves.

It's an amazing list of names associated in Big Ten history. It's a who's who of college basketball. (Augustine) probably doesn't know any of the players. He should be proud. He's part of the elite of college basketball.

It's over. I told them 'One, learn from it. It should hurt a little. If it doesn't, we're in trouble. Two, it's a clean slate. It's our fourth season. You did great in non-conference, 14-0, kicked some butt. Conference, you were close but no cigar you have no one to blame but yourselves (because of the home loss to Penn State). And now we laid an egg. You've got one more chance, and it's how you finish that everyone remembers.

Watching film, I was wondering what he's still doing in college. He's a little bit of a Kobe Bryant.

Of all the upsets in college basketball ... to me, that's the most alarming because of what Bo (Ryan) kind of stands for and the success they've had at home. Since he's been in the league, he's always won the games he's supposed to win.

They're young. That crowd gets loud and we freeze. You have to move, and you have to move the ball. You can't take quick shots. We took some questionable shots. It's a learning process.

I wouldn't wish that upon anybody. ... He's young and getting a lot of learning experiences but keeping a good attitude.

It would have been nice, ... We wanted it. It wasn't one of our goals. The thing we did learn was that you have to play the whole 40 minutes. We led for 39 minutes 54 seconds. We didn't defend on the last play. I think it helped us in the Arizona game down the stretch. . . . In the long run, it got us focused again. You watch the film, and it's little things that slipped. All of a sudden they catch up with you, you know. We would have liked to be in the record book, but we still are. It's still a special season.

Watching film, I'm wondering why he's still in college. He's such a talented player. He's a little bit of a Kobe Bryant. He can get you on the pull-up jumper, the three. He can go to the basket. He does so many things, and he's smooth at it. You have to have a sense of urgency against him. If you let down, he's going to get you.

I think they're happy to be here, they're excited. This was a great memory. College is a great time. I just hope they keep coming back.

You hope he gets in because they talk about the Hall being inclusive of all levels. He was a success on the high school, junior college and college level. Now, he's in the NBA.
