Rick Pitino Team Quotations

Billy coached as perfect a game as I've ever seen in a national championship game. It reminded me of 1987 when he carried an average Providence team to the final weekend.

I've never beaten a team that played that well. This is the gutsiest, most phenomenally tough group that I've ever been around.

I'm extremely proud. We talked this morning and everything he said he wanted this team to do, it's done. It's really amazing to see.

They do such a good job of penetrating. We got beat constantly off the dribble. It was a matter of a team much more athletic than us. Our style is a very athletic style being played by not very athletic people.

When it comes to team dynamics - on a basketball court or in a corporate setting - maintaining a positive atmosphere is crucial.
