Gary Waters Best Quotations

I have enjoyed coaching the Rutgers basketball team for the past five seasons, and have had the opportunity to work with some tremendous young men. But at this time, I feel that this is the best course of action for me to take for the Rutgers basketball program and for my family. I feel we were able to accomplish a lot here, but it is time for me and my family to move forward.

I hate to waste the ability of our point guard because he's the best pressure guard out there. It hurts our team if we don't have that pressure.

He's getting better and better each time he walks out on that floor, and I don't know if we've seen the best of him yet. That's the scary part of this whole thing.

We have to play our very best to have an opportunity in this game. I tell you this, they're not going to go out there to lay down and die, though.

When the powers-that-be have made decisions, you don't know where and when it all started. I know a year ago when we came in last place in the Big East the bubbling started. This year they had question marks when we lost a few games. This is the best league in America and we could end up 7-9 with a team that was picked to finish 14th and not be in the Big East Tournament.

We'll see. What I'm going to have to do is determine whether it's in his (Inman's) best interest to play because this young man has a future beyond this year.

You gotta understand, I've been with him for three years and I've seen a lot of things go down. The thing I do know is he's getting better and better each time he walks on the floor. And I don't know if we've seen the best of him yet. That's the scary part of this whole thing.

Quincy is a loyal person and that's what people don't realize. That's why he's been with Jack so long. The thing Quincy knows is he still has a lot to learn and he wants to graduate. If someone is going to offer him millions upon millions, I have to be honest. I'll give him the best advice of what his future will be if he makes that decision (but) we'll wait because I don't want him to worry about this now.

They were down, and there was some frustration. I made them realize that they can move forward and still obtain all the goals and objectives. I had to make them realize my situation. This is the best move for me.

In my estimation, Marquis is the best defensive player in the Big East. He's the most disciplined player I've seen, like a quarterback in football he reads reports and watches tapes every day.

He's the best defender in the Big East. Everybody he plays against he shuts down. The game you saw Mejia have wasn't an off-day - that young man makes people have off-days.

We were playing three games in five days. These guys played their heart out, especially in the first half. I don't feel bad. I thought our kids did the best job they could.

It's a good possibility we won't have Adrian the rest of the season. It hurts, obviously, because in my estimation he's one of our best defenders and he's an inside presence.

It shows that they take education first and athletics second. They came here because they wanted a quality education. There are others who don't understand that and don't get the best education.
