More Quotes from Matt Painter:
Most recruits don't mind, because they're probably not paying for it. That's the key. Their parents are probably paying for it, so they don't care. It's a great way to communicate and a great way to stay in touch with recruits, especially text-messaging them, so they can get in touch with you.Matt Painter

When you have distractions, and I'm an expert on that from this season, it's tough to get everybody thinking positive. It's tough to get 19- to 20-year-olds to concentrate on the task at hand when so many people outside the program -- whether students, media or people from your hometown -- are talking about, 'Is your head coach going to be there.' Now the focus is really on the team.

I just thought their pressure was a little too much for us at times. When they'd get a couple turnovers or force us into a bad shot a combination of two or three possessions in a row, you simply just run out of timeouts. We wanted to keep them out of transition. Normally, when you take bad shots from the baseline, it's going to lead to a sprint out by Dee or a sprint out by Dee that leads to a three-pointer.
