Jeff Gundy Basketball Quotations

I'd be very surprised if they didn't win a game.

I thought our basketball IQ at the end of the game, up 11, could have been a lot better.

You should never play at home on the second night of back-to-backs. Your home fans deserve the best you can give them. If you need to, play all your back-to-backs on the road, and never on national TV. They've done that, and sometimes the basketball is not the best.

Everybody's got an opinion and usually misguided. They don't know him. What his basketball character has revealed is that his will to win is in the upper top five in the league, combined with a talent level in the top five of the league. That is a very rare, rare combination.

I know what inspiring basketball is. When we're dead in the water and we're not playing the way we're capable of, I'm going to say that. But tonight we were very inspiring.

I just want Yao to recover when he can and become an even better basketball player. I've got enough problems already without being a vicious capitalist pig.

I feel he has good basketball character, or we wouldn't have done it. Basketball character is important, and basketball character starts with working and passing and caring about your teammates. I think he does those things. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was, I think, the right one for us.

These guys are professional guys and they're all professional basketball players so we should expect to play well and play hard.
