Roy H. Williams Guys Quotations

I threw my coat because the guys were hollering at each other and I don't allow that. One of them was scolding the other for not making a pass and we kind of lost our poise after that.

We saw a big-time basketball team play in a tough environment. Our guys in the second half, I love how hard we competed. ... It seemed like every time we'd get right there where I thought we could get over the hump, but we couldn't get a stop.

The other guys covered up, but I know one thing -- I'm a lot more comfortable when David is out there.

I told the guys the game was going to be won on the defensive end of the floor. We had to play well. They are really a good basketball team. Those three (Guillermo Diaz, Robert Hite and Anthony Harris ) on the perimeter are a big time load. We defended awfully hard tonight.

I've got eight or nine guys who know they're going to play. Who plays the most depends on who plays the best. I think it's a pretty simple thing for us. As long as our team wins.

The kids had some time to spend some time together and the relationships were better ... the older guys taking care of the freshmen, giving advice. In my opinion, that was the best benefit of the trip.

I challenged our guys at halftime because I saw no sweat on anybody's part. To me, that meant we hadn't worked nearly as hard as I felt we needed to work, and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

You've got three guys on the perimeter who change positions. You don't know who's going to have the ball at what time. Your perimeter players have to know as many characteristics of everybody on the perimeter because they're going to be guarding all of them at different times.
