I am an asshole at times, but I won't change my coaching style because it produces historic success
I'm an asshole at times. I mean that's, you know, it's just who I am... I don't wanna change a whole lot of things about the way that I go about my coaching and my fire and my intensity because it has produced historic success at UConn the last couple of years.

View episodeOvechkin breaking the goal record from his office against the Islanders was the perfect way to end the chase
It was awesome to see him score from his office against the Islanders... Ovie was like, 'fuck it, I know it's at home [and I don't want an empty netter]'. He did it perfectly. That shot has been happening for 20 years. Nobody's ever figured out how to stop it. He did it from his office.

Houston is just a bunch of wolves, man led by a wolf... the way they get after it, you, you can't prepare for it.

UConn's historic season is undervalued by national media because they aren't a traditional blue blood like Duke or Kentucky
Our season hasn't been covered in my mind and the national media enough. This is a team that's done historic stuff.

Moving forward with these guys, if I think they're making a mistake and I think they need more time in college, I'm gonna tell 'em. [Donovan Clingan] knows he's gonna be in the NBA, but I want these guys to be in the NBA for 10, 15 years, not just get drafted and make money.
