Jim Calhoun Difficult Quotations

He's the best natural scorer of all the big kids. He's not the biggest by any stretch, but at any time he can take up space, he can move people without pushing, just by using his body, and you can't move him. He's a very difficult kid to move, especially with his hard work and passion for the game.

They came out and pressed us and generally teams that press us allow to get ourselves going. And this was their third game in five days so it made it very difficult for them to stay with us.

That's something you really have a difficult time answering in the sense that you can't get inside the team's mind.
