“I'm excited about it. I want to see if the guys have retained the information we've given them. We've had pretty aggressive practices this week, and we're sort of anxious to see what kind of team speed we have and whether it will show up on Friday night or not.”
“We've got other guys who do a great job, but Robert's exceptional. He does the things you can't coach. You can't coach speed. Some of his cuts, some of his acceleration, some of his cutbacks, there's no coaching in that. It's just a gift.”
“Your best athletes have to come through in the big games, and this was a big game for us. We couldn't afford to start 0-2. That's what we're looking for from Robert, and he can actually do more than that.”
“We need to be out of the gym. I'll be more comfortable when we get that done. We'll have more space in the old fieldhouse, we'll have room to put in additional equipment, and it'll be away from any other activities going on in the gym, so you don't have to worry about those things anymore.”
