Kenyon Martin's comeback from a broken leg is one of the greatest feats in sports history

It blows my mind that a guy could like him, could break his leg and come back and play 11 years in the NBA... I'll bet you nobody's ever done that in the history of sports. With a broken leg and come back and... that's a lot of running, that's a lot of jumping and pounding.

While Martin had a great career, many athletes have returned from broken bones (e.g., Paul George, Joe Theismann's recovery attempt, or more recently Alex Smith). However, Martin's longevity as a high-flyer post-injury is remarkable.

West Virginia is a basketball school

I asked Scott this question, I'll ask it to you too. West Virginia, a basketball school or a football school? Basketball school. I think that's tradition.

This is a matter of fan perspective, though the basketball program has had more recent high-level success (Final Fours) compared to the football program's results in the Big 12 era.

Cincinnati would have won a national title in 2000 if Kenyon Martin didn't get hurt

I think anybody who doesn't [think we would have won] don't know anything about basketball. [I think about it] not more than four or five times a day.

This is a famous sports 'what if'. Cincy was the favorite, but since it didn't happen, it remains subjective.

Deflections are the most important stat when playing a press defense

Since we started pressing, it's deflections. Deflections is a sign of activity and energy. It's disruptive.

This is a coaching philosophy and a subjective valuation of a statistic.
