Taft is an outstanding basketball team. I can see why they’re favored to win their section. Not only are they lightning quick, but they can shoot too.

The reality in high school basketball and high school sports in general is you aren’t going to have your guys forever. It’s time for them to move on. They’ve gotten everything they could out of...

Come on. Football is instincts and reaction. It’s not basketball, where you’re waiting for somebody to set a screen. It’s ludicrous.

We are extremely excited that these two young men will be a part of the Michigan basketball program. Both players are versatile with outstanding athletic ability and commitment to academics. We think they will have...

I think putting four kids in double figures tonight really shows were growing as a basketball team and that’s an encouraging sign.

I think we’ve done something tremendous for college basketball, for the teams that are out there that watched us play, you know, just to show them that all you need is opportunity and a chance.

We played a very small stretch of decent basketball out of a 48-minute game. We’ve been defending the 3-pointer pretty well this year, but it didn’t happen tonight. We pretty much know where we’re going...

I know that topic keeps coming up, but I’m most interested in quality basketball. We’re having a hard time sustaining quality basketball, and tonight was as bad as it gets. Everything we tried didn’t work....

All the basketball and football tapes, restoration might cost $75,000. We’re hoping to get a grant. David and I both, we’d just like for Dad’s work to be preserved in a way that people who...

Sometimes in basketball you don’t think, you react. That’s exactly what I did.

Obviously, we’ve got to do a better job of taking care of the basketball. I’m not quite sure why we’re turning the ball over more now. I don’t think we’re seeing any greater pressure than...

That is going to be nice. This will make the basketball in this state a lot more skilled. We have great athletes, but not a lot of skilled programs. This should help.

I couldn’t throw a basketball through a hula-hoop, but I could drink coffee through a fishing net. But why do that when I’d rather fish with a thermos?

It’s not just the basketball. It’s about learning things in life.

I’ve felt all along that Greenville basketball is as good as any in the state this year. I think there’s a good chance that someone from Greenville will be in Columbia.

He’s a three-sport performer. He plays for me, then averages like 20 points in basketball and was a state-qualifier in the hurdles for the track team. He’s impressive.

We have yet to play our best basketball. That?s a good sign to be up 2-0 and not have hit on all cylinders yet.

I’m just playing basketball, man. I trust the referees to make the right calls. I don’t need to cry about it or nothing. That’s part of playoff basketball.

They’re a very good basketball team and we’ve got them on their home floor. They’re fresh and they don’t have to travel a day. I mean, I could get to the East Coast as fast...

With basketball, it depends on how far you advance in the tournaments. The farther you get, the more money that the school gets back.

We needed it. It was very good for us to get back to playing Ole Miss basketball. When you don’t practice at all, you forget your defensive principles. Just the sharpness goes away a little...

I’m a fan of all kinds of sports, whether it’s football, basketball, tennis, you name it. But Sunday is going to be tough, especially since we had an opportunity to be there.

What happened to us happens to every champion. We’ve seen it in basketball. We’ve seen it in football. We’ve seen it in boxing. You see it in every sport. Every champion tends to not necessarily...

It was standing room only. What a great atmosphere to have a high school basketball game.

Some American guys talk and try to intimidate you. Basketball is basketball. You put the ball in the hole, and you’re going to win the game. You’ve just got to keep playing your game.

I think this is going to be a great atmosphere even for non-basketball fans. We have two stellar teams with a chance to go head-to-head in a pivotal game. I’m sure it’s going to be...

The key to playing Detroit is being ready to play physical basketball. They are very physical, and they aren’t going to give you anything easy. We have to be ready to match that.

She’s been a leader in women’s basketball for a long time. It’s a close to a great era.

We’re trying to change a mind-set, because there has been a lack of success with men’s basketball. One of the biggest things when I came in was to look at it from top to bottom....

Our quickness on defense caused them problems. We’re playing our best basketball right now.

These girls have played a lot of basketball, so they knew they could come back and win.

Primarily, the result represents what was best for college basketball at this time. It ensures we will continue to have an undisputed national champion every year, and at same time be able to preserve the...

It’s been trending that way the last few years. The business of college basketball dictates that you can’t wait until the spring to get recruits. If you wait until spring, you’re dead in the water.

He played basketball last year and moves well for a guy his size. He’s not playing this year but that doesn’t mean he’s just laying around. He’s a hard worker.

He raises the I.Q. of your basketball team – he helps us tremendously,

He ‘ s not a raw kind of talent. He ‘ s got some sophistication to his basketball game, and I think he will progress quickly.

The guy has been in great gyms. He is extremely well educated in the game of basketball.

We didn’t deserve to win. That’s how basketball is. If we fought hard those final shots would drop. If we merited to win, those final shots would drop. But they played a better game.

If it ended tonight, I think we’d be in. There’s a lot of basketball left to play but it doesn’t hurt to have this win on our resume.

You know how when you step on court your coach is like “go go go!”? And all throughout you just keep telling yourself to hit harder and harder and keep at it? You know how...

He was all over the place. So active. He’s really helping our basketball team.

They’re a good basketball team. They have a very hostile home environment. They are very balanced. They have seven or eight guys who can score for them. They are probably a little bitter since they...

We’re not going to win a championship because some guy comes in and plays like Michael Jordan, … We’re going to win as a team. We’re going to win when Dirk Nowitzki continues to move...

If you commit six turnovers you should have won the basketball game.

Great basketball teams are great during crunch time. I don’t think we gave them the game. They stepped up and took it from us.

We have to find a way of putting two halves of basketball together.

We have to focus on getting better down the stretch and playing better basketball. There’s no margin for error with this team. When we slip up a little bit, obviously a team like Kentucky is...

As well as they played in Game 1, we thought we destroyed ourselves. We didn’t play our kind of basketball. We didn’t do anything we preached. We decided to come out here (last night) and...

She might be a freshman in class but not on the basketball floor. She plays with the same intensity that any upperclassmen does.

They are a very good basketball team and we knew that coming in. They deserved to win this game because they did everything they needed to do to win. We didn’t do that… . They...
