Ron Everhart Quotations

We're just waiting to see what happens. He's taking his time.

One of things I think he showed today was his tremendous moxie. As good as he is with the ball, he made the plays to help us win this basketball game without it.

I don't know the Duquesne assistants. I'm not adverse to talking to them.

He?s certainly our most valuable player. And he may be the most valuable player, as to how he fits with our team, as there is in the league.

Having grown up in this area, I am very familiar with Duquesne and its tradition of success. I look forward to getting started.

When he didn't want to do the 6 a.m. run that was a pretty good indicator he didn't want to play basketball any more at Duquesne University.

When he didn't want to do the 6 a.m. run that was a good indicator he didn't want to play basketball for Duquesne. I assume he is going to ask for a transfer. I only want guys who want to be in the trenches with Duquesne. I don't want guys who don't want to be at Duquesne.

Mason got us in a hurry and did a good job defensively. We went 2 of 14 in the first eight minutes and we couldn't get over that hump.

The absolute worst visit of any college athlete that I've ever been associated with. It was god-awful.

We had three chances to tie it and several to win it.

UNC Wilmington did a good job of making it a half-court game, which prevented us from converting easy shots.

As far as I know, he has not been released.

For every study hall a player missed since the start of the semester, he owes me a mile in six minutes. Some of the guys owe 18 or 19 miles. It takes a lot more than just showing up to practice to wear the Duquesne University uniform. It takes a lot more work.

That's always a tough call. The guys at Northeastern have a great degree of loyalty to me, and I have a great loyalty to them.

I'm elated to see that he held true to his loyalties and our relationship. It's very gratifying. He's an extremely loyal kid.

I'm excited at the way our team is developing in practice. I think for us, moving into the Colonial and beating a team that's in the top three is a real statement that our basketball team is getting better and that we're progressing.

I'm proud of our basketball team. Without question, I think we saw, from both teams, some big-time performances out there with some very good players. All and all, I think we really executed well, especially down the stretch.

I'm thrilled and excited and at the same time very proud to represent Duquesne University as the head basketball coach. Having grown up in this area, I am very familiar with Duquesne and its tradition of success.

I'm recruiting my brains out. We're going to turn over all the stones to get them.

I'm recruiting my brains out. I'm turning over all the stones.

I think all teams change throughout the year. You go through dips and peaks and valleys. Ours are more accentuated than most it seems. I think our basketball team has changed, and certainly James Madison has changed as well.

By turning the ball over 19 times, our scoring opportunities were seriously limited.

If I know Duquesne like I think I do, Duquesne can compete at an elite level in the Atlantic 10.

I don't think anything was resolved one way or the other, but we'll be talking a lot more. We left it open for more dialogue.

He asked for his release. It happened sometime last week.

This is a group of guys who are very loyal, hardworking and trustworthy. They've hit the ground running. They've gotten a great start on recruiting and have been monitoring study hall and conducting individual workouts.
