I've never criticized a single George Mason player. I've told them the truth and they interpret it sometimes as criticism. But I'm just being honest with them. If someone's messing up during practice, I just tell 'em. If they want to consider that something other than helpful hints, that's just the way it is.

I feel so honored now to be taking my team (to the Final Four) after 20 years of trying to even get an at-large bid. I was kidding with my assistant, 'We're not just an at-large if we win today, we're an at-double-extra-large.' I can't tell you how much fun I'm having.

This season has been a lot about our consistency. We didn't have a lot of ups and downs. We learned some lessons in November and since then, we've played some very consistent basketball. That's what has separated this team because we've been able to play consistently well, even in the NCAA tournament against high-quality programs and teams.

One of the great parts of this team is the balance that we have. This team is like a wheel with spokes, and each shares the responsibility in making the team go.
