Rick Barnes Quotations

I think they know I'm upset because I think they know how much I want execution. It's always disappointing when you don't execute.

I think they've got as good a chance as anybody in the Final Four.

I don't know if guys have to quit, but it does help that P.J. is going to class,

I don't know if anyone can really understand the stress of coaches until you go through it. I love this business, as we all do, but it's a tough profession. There's a lot of stress.

I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage. I told the guys were only going to worry about the game in front of us. From there, you move on to the next one if you're successful.

I don't know if there is a correlation or not. When we walked into this building today, we were prepared to set in for a four, five, six-point game. That's what we got.

I don't know if I would call it a wishbone more than I would call it that Fun 'n' Gun because they spread you out. They're going to shoot 25 threes. They make more threes than any team in the country. It's almost like playing against a no-huddle offense.

I didn't think we were aggressive enough offensively. We knew they were going to come with pressure, we felt like we should attack that pressure.

P.J. will make sure every knows about it.

P.J. still a little bit over-aggressive. I like him being that way. Some of those turnovers we can take. He's working harder than he's ever worked before.
