A. Hodge Coach Quotations

I don't want to say what coach Karl is throwing at me isn't tough - that it isn't as hard as my brother - because he's just going to throw more at me. I'm not going to set myself up, but growing up in Harlem, New York, it was definitely hard and this is just another bump in the road. Once I get past it, I'll be that much stronger.

If I'm going to be a quarterback, I figure I need to be part of coach Leach's pirate school.

All Coach Karl does is talk about UNC, ... And I can't say nothing about it.

Coach said for us to keep playing harder. We wanted to keep playing harder and wear them down. They looked exhausted in the last five minutes.

It's definitely been a challenging first 10 days under coach Karl, ... He's really tough on me, and I like that because I know it's going to make me better and make me cut down some of my bad decisions on the court and make me that much smarter of a player.

It's been fun meeting players from across the country and meeting coaches from around the NFL. The Titans' staff has taught us a lot this week. Everything at this level is a lot more efficient, so you can't help to learn something from these coaches.

I got a lot of time at the point guard position, learning how to run a team (in Austin). I think I got better and better every day. For the most part, it was a good experience. I'm just going to continue to work every day, and if coach calls my number, I'll be ready.

I don't know who's going to get coach of the year, but he certainly deserves it. I don't know how many coach of the year awards he's received, but this is definitely the best job he's done.
