B. F. Skinner Guys Quotations

Guys like Jon were here and working hard when it was not the most fashionable thing to play basketball here at BC. When you see us reach the Sweet Sixteen and advance in the rankings it's because of guys like Jon and others who put in their time and got the most out of their abilities day in and day out.

Getting to the semifinals for a lot of guys that were there, it wasn't enough. We would like to go farther this year. It's going to come down to whose got the most heart, and you also need a little bit of luck.

I watch the All-Star game every year. It's a fun game and I want to see what the guys are doing. I like to see my friends who are in the game and see how well they do.

Justice was served because I think the ref gave them a goal. It was unfortunate that it came right at the end of the game. But the guys came through. That's what they're supposed to do.

I was hoping to get the guys a couple of days in class. It's disappointing because we've got to travel and we just traveled.

You can call whatever you want against us, but it's got to be the same at both ends. When there's contact going to the basket, they call fouls. That's fine. But when my guys go to the basket and there's contact, it should be a foul. It's just that simple. When that doesn't occur, then obviously there's a problem there.

We are pieces of a puzzle, and each piece fits. When one piece doesn't work, we suffer as a team. The thing I appreciate about this club is that guys like Louis understand that. Louis' play has obviously been outstanding. We wouldn't be here without that.

We played a number of games with only six guys, and obviously had some success. Roles, not only are they changing and they're being defined, but the guys are trying to adjust. It's not always as simple as you like.

We didn't lose our composure. We just settled down. We didn't at all panic. From a mental standpoint, guys weren't down on themselves.

The one at the end of the half really took us in the locker room on a real positive note. I don't know a better way to lift a team. Even though we had scored 40 points, I don't think it all came smoothly. It was clearly a big lift for us and gave our guys confidence. It really made the difference, as far as our start in the second half.

Alan got down right away. But he came back. He really stepped up and it was nice because it got the team rallying again. We lost at 125 and he was down, so the guys were down. We ended up being up for that match and he wrestled real well.

There's nothing wrong if you're not my type of guy, but I think guys should have the fire burning inside them. I always knew what games to get up for. I can read. I knew who was who. There's a discipline in me. I take a deep breath. Do I need to act out? Or is there another way. I'm not looking for a crown or brass ring. I just look to get the best out of each player.

I've got a great appreciation for the focus they've brought. We didn't start off as well as we would've liked in the league. For us to be in the championship game after 0-3 ... it's a tremendous credit for all the guys on this club.

You can't take anybody lightly because you can get blown out easily in this league. Everybody's in there for a reason. Everybody's getting a paycheck, and everybody's doing what they're supposed to do because that's their job. A lot of guys got to play who haven't been able to play for a while.

That really helped lift us. I don't know a better way to lift a team. It gave our guys a lot of confidence. It really made a difference in the start of the half.

He (Smith) was a beast in there. He was carrying two and three guys on his back getting offensive rebounds. Craig made them work extremely hard in defending him on the interior. That is what a senior does. He puts you on his back and carries you.
