Ted Fiore Quotations

I have a great deal of respect for the way he goes about coaching defense. His kids really do a good job of that. He's intense. He's passionate about what he does. That's how you win. I don't give a damn what sport you play.

He understands the game, he understands the importance of his own role on the team and he understands the attention that is going to be paid to him. And he is certainly willing, and also capable, of sharing the scoring.

(Torres) played a great game. He probably played the best game he's played. He hit some shots from outside. He got on a little bit of a run at the beginning of the second half. He had six points to retake the lead for them. He was very definitely a big difference in the game.

The university has certainly benefited from having him around. It's going to be an unfortunate day for us when he graduates, because we will have lost his presence around here.

The kids have responded and all we can do is what we can do.

He's the type of guy any of us would like our sons to be like. In all my years of coaching, he is among the elite people, as well as players, that I've ever encountered.
