The college game is controlled by guards, has been and will be. You guys are going to try to name all the great big men who have carried their teams to Final Fours recently. You're not going to come up with any. You're going to come up with teams that are dominated by good inside play and terrific guard play. In the college game, guys that control the ball control the game.

When my dad died at 15 of a heart attack, ... one of the sacred places I could go was with a ball, a hoop and a dream - by myself. It's one of the few sports that allows you to do that. In those moments of solitude, I was able to work out some of my life issues. It was a very difficult time for me.

I remember how small it was, ... It was bigger than our locker room, but maybe only twice the size. It wasn't massive by any stretch of the imagination, but you have to understand that if you see the Wilt Chamberlain jersey, if you see Adolph Rupp, if you see the Texas Western team - the picture of them - that was all kind of awe-inspiring.
