Quote Of The Day

“Obviously, Coach is a genius. He’s had an unbelievable start to what will end up being a Hall of Fame career. He represents all that’s right about college athletics.

“The notoriety he’s deserving of, I think a lot of it comes from what they do offensively. Just from studying him prior to Florida Atlantic, then listening to all the podcasts he does, things of that nature, you can tell there’s a lot of uniqueness in how they play.

“There’s some FIBA, some European sort of stuff. How he has comprised his first roster at Michigan, you can see the influence of how he would like to play.

“Obviously, I think they’ve done a great job thus far.”
