Roy H. Williams Hard Quotations

For such a little guy, he's a big load, there's no question about that, ... I can't think of anybody that pushes it any faster than he does. He comes at you so hard that you have to give ground so much, at some point, you have to draw a line and say, 'I can't continue to give ground or I'll be in the bleachers.'

Use half as many words and they'll hit twice as hard.

A lot of guys, when certain things start going south on them, they fold and give in. That youngster didn't do it. He refocused again, played even harder and did an even better job of being a leader for us.

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.

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 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.
