Terry Hollander Quotations

I have every confidence that we have the right man in the right time and in the right place.

Heck, no. Since they play the first game, maybe I'll come over for the second game and help them celebrate.

I think we just have to work through the next few months and see where we are. We do feel that this program should have a national search in fairness to everybody involved.

Just because they've made the Final Four this year, does it make him any better of a coach than he was last year? I don't think so. This puts him on a much bigger stage. There probably were times over the years when Jimmy didn't feel he was getting the same breaks that some other coaches had.

Our new coaching staff has adopted a 'hands-on' approach to monitoring study halls as well as setting the expectations for class attendance and performance. We have seen a remarkable improvement in the academic performance of the individual team members, but know that this is a ... responsibility that requires continuing attention.

When a team plays as well as Zumwalt West did in that first half - they must've shot 70 percent - you expect to be down by more than six at the half. But we were playing pretty well ourselves. As well as they played, we were still in the game. We still had a chance.

The fact that they have been turned down actually shows that they are setting their sights high and it is hard to understand how that can be considered by some as such a negative.

We will assist coach Godwin in building a staff to provide this year's team with the leadership necessary to compete at the highest level.

It was absolutely a fairy tale ending. You couldn't have asked for anything better. It was a great way to finish his home career.

This group is as resilient as any I've ever coached. They don't let bad calls or mistakes bother them; no matter what happens on the floor, they always seem to keep their focus.

There's 20 sports whose sole lifeline depends on football here. They can't exist without successful football. There's such a huge burden on football revenue, schools don't have a choice.

It was big momentum-wise. It was a great play by a great player.

In spite of things we are all hearing right now, professionals in this business believe the N.C. State job is a good one and that they will get a good coach.

I can also say that last spring when we were faced with replacing two outstanding and popular assistant coaches, that (senior associate athletics director) Nick Floyd and I took an abnormal interest in the hiring of the next assistant coach.

I am not going to do anymore one-on-one (interviews). We just keep getting sucked into no comments. I am not going to talk about it.

You could see the pressure in those free throws when he went to the line. You could see how much of a weight he was carrying.
