Bo Ryan People Quotations

Shot fakes and ball fakes work. No one uses more than Wisconsin. It's amazing how many people don't use them

Some campuses had a problem with certain establishments emptying out at midnight for people coming over to the 'Midnight Madness' and maybe not comprehending exactly what was going on on the court. So take that to mean whatever you might think I mean,

I don't know where we'd be without him. That's not conversation. That's a fact. He has that kind of impact on the people around him.

We try to get to the line a lot, no matter what. We did a much better job than in some other games of getting position and making post feeds and getting people off their feet or out of position. That's how you get to the free throw line.

I think the way people are talking about how we're going to be is very exciting, ... And If you're a basketball fan you want to ask, 'How's this guy going to look?'

Over the years we've wanted to bring in high school people-not just players-but people who are interested in our team and our program that can't get tickets, they can't see us in the Kohl Center, so this is an opportunity, as well as our scrimmage on Oct. 30, the Red-White scrimmage, ... This doesn't replace that. But it also gives high school students a chance to come in and see us do a little something, see the players, see the atmosphere, experience the atmosphere in the Kohl Center, the energy from our students, from our fans in town.

That's what college does for people when given the opportunity, ... We've watched him grow into manhood right in front of our eyes. He has enveloped the knowledge, the experience and is a better person who can give more back than anybody I've ever coached. He has grown in so many ways beyond how he plays the game.

We are where we are and we go to the next game. I'll let other people judge whether that's good, bad or indifferent because they're all entitled to their opinion. I'm just getting ready for Northwestern.

We figure 7 p.m., people can get there of all ages, they get to the Kohl Center, they see us play some games and have some fun, ... When most people see us only during a game, where it's more intense, and they get a chance to see everybody, plus we get some students out there. They shoot half-court shots, three-point shots, free throws, a chance to win some contests.

We did a much better job today than other games getting in position and getting people off their feet. That's how you get to the line, and then play with the lead.

The toughest part for bigger-than-average people is to move your feet and to get your feet in good position,

These young guys get to live in their moment. I don't know what people remember about Wisconsin or what people remember about Arizona. Everyone is in their own time warp.

People that know basketball recognize effort opportunities that a guy takes advantage of and he's done that every minute he's been on the floor. Here's a freshman that's come in an really chipped in on the glass, defensively, making good passes and playing with a lot of energy and kind of uplifting the team when he gets on the floor.

It's easier for them to know that if they do the right things, they've seen it happen where you can have some success. And people don't jump ship as easily. They don't get discouraged as easily if they're a part of something that has shown some success.

It's the same old story and I'd like to say it's a different tune, but it's not. People will say, 'Oh, you lost this guy, lost that guy'. OK, that means there's opportunities for some of these younger guys to jump into those minutes.

I've had that said to me a lot, that I'm good at working a room, ... There are people who have questions they want to ask me. If I stand in a corner somewhere, how is that perceived? That's perceived as me thinking I know everything. I don't know everything. Far from it. I'm willing to learn. That's why I'm not bashful about mixing with people.

Honorable mention means that there are people that feel that he's on the radar screen as far as the contributions. He made enough contributions to be on that list of the top 20 guys in the league. I would say Kam is definitely on that list.
