Jim Rosborough Good Quotations

He's a good kid. The guys like him, he's a personable kid, he's a good student - we're not going to have to worry about him in the classroom or anything - and kids from Mater Dei know how to play.

It all depends on how you practice. Chris didn't have a bad practice today, but I thought Daniel had a very good practice. Chris is a great on-ball defender, but Daniel is probably a more complete defender.

I think they want to get better. We had a really good practice on Friday. We got the kids' attention and now they're on a roll.

It got our attention. We had some good motivation; everybody was counting us out.

We need a good weekend, so if they're going to be desperate, we're probably in the same category. We had a good weekend this weekend, but Oregon State is kind of down. This weekend will be a whole lot different.

We've got a lot to look forward to. I think we'll finally walk away from this crazy season feeling good about ourselves.

The value of this is that there hasn't been a pickup game in history that was as good as a practice.

Good questions. We'd be sitting here 22-4 if we played the 10 games we've lost like this.

The truth of the matter is that most (NBA) people have said that. You can't guarantee a lottery pick, but he's going to be bigger and stronger. He made a good decision.

It was a good night. We always had a hand in the shooters' face. We switched well. Our quickness enabled us to get a lot of long rebounds and convert them into points on the break. The guys are learning what we're teaching them.

It just boiled down to a playing time issue with Salim (Stoudamire) here. He is a good kid.

It was one thing to drop out of the Top 25 after we won by 30 at Utah and broke their long home-court winning streak. But to see that banner? It got our attention. We had some good motivation; everybody was counting us out.
