It's just a matter of him believing he's a contributor and not just there to warm up for the game. I knew once he got his hair cut that he thought he was going to be a contributor.

We knew Calvin had the ability. Where he struggled was his maturity. He had to embrace the notion that he had to mature more. I told him once he did, the sky's the limit.Reggie Witherspoon
The thing that made his game great was that some of the shots he took we were out there on him. We knew that he was going to hit some shots. We said we just don't want him to get anything easy. I don't think he got anything easy, but he still got to the basket a couple of times. That's what made it difficult.

They've played so many terrific games off the bench. I told them when they were freshmen that we don't have five starters, we don't play that way. What we've been trying to do this year is play like that and it's been a problem.

Parnell's fatigued. He's been out a long time. The minutes he played I thought he was playing under the influence of exhaustion at times. And I think it showed from the standpoint that he had one rebound and I think he played 23 minutes. We didn't play anybody that had less rebounds than him. We had one guy who played eight minutes and he had a rebound.

Akron played on a higher level tonight. They play well together and complement each other well. They got out and pressed us. They work really hard on defense. They make shots very difficult.

If you have a hard time caring about a kid that looks different than you, then they will have a hard time relating to you. I think the first component to building relationships is the ability to care. Most kids don't care how much you know until you show them how much you care. The first thing for me is I care about kids, and I think they see that so it makes it easier for me to relate to them no matter what they look like or what their background might be.
