If you look at the terrorist attacks around the world, they're in places where there is no security - a club or a movie theater or wherever.

I know every year what my players get and what courses they get them in. I get a report every semester. What course. What grades.

You've got to work your way into the NBA. Guys like Seth Curry, it took him a couple years in the G-League.

They don't work with you to get better in the NBA. Either you're ready or you're out and you go to the G-League or Europe.

Against our zone, even really good offensive teams take longer than usual to get into their patterns, maybe 30 seconds. So we're locked into playing defense for that long... it's hard to run on offense after you've been hunkering down on D for that long.

Roy Williams has been a great coach every game since the beginning at Kansas.

I grew up in the Big East Conference for 30 years. We were a conference that was nothing. We were a bunch of schools thrown together and within five years we were one of the top two basketball conferences in the country.

When you take over at Kansas, they've always won, so you're expected to win.

I don't love playing zone all the time, because it does have an effect on your offense.

Every Olympics, they make a big deal out of something - security... traffic... pollution... something - and it really doesn't come true. For me, there's never been a problem.

Syracuse, New York, is like Hawaii for eight months of the year. The other four months, I don't care about the weather because we're playing basketball.

I first came to the Garden when I was a sophomore in college. The old, old Garden.

You don't play extra guys just to play them. You play 'em because they can help you in some way.

All the way through my high school and college there was never a doubt in anybody's mind the ACC was the best conference.

The facts are, when we played here, we were treated better in Greensboro than any other tournament venue.

You've got to understand, every kid in college basketball, if you ask them where they want to play a game, in the NBA or college, they will tell you Madison Square Garden, a huge percentage.

Each Olympics is different with their own great parts to it.

Katie Ledecky is the best swimmer in the world. You could say she's impressive with what she can do in a pool.

The thing is, I'm a sports junkie.Everybody knows that. I could watch any of this stuff - track and field... anything - and really enjoy it.

If you say something you have to take responsibility for it.

I've said some things that are a little bit off the wall, but I don't run away and hide from them.

I've had good players in my time. I really have.

The national championship for Syracuse in 2003 will always be the high-water mark for me. That was my alma mater, my team, my players, our fans. That remains the top experience of my basketball life.

If you can get in trouble for supporting a friend you've known for almost 50 years, I don't want to live in that country.

When you can't be loyal to your friends, I don't like that world.

I'm not Joe Paterno. Somebody didn't come and tell me Bernie Fine did something and I'm hiding it.

I'm happy that we've won a lot of games. I don't think about it. I don't.

Why did Donald Trump become president? I don't know.

I never have been in Bernie Fine's hotel room in my life.

Georgetown is still Georgetown. They have got a tremendous name and recognition. They are in a great area and have a great school.

I've learned to accept death better than most people.

I hate losing more than I like winning.

I've always felt like a guy where the grass is greener on my side of the fence.

I've always felt like I was a college coach and I was a college coach for Syracuse. It just felt like the right thing.

I knew I could hang on in the NBA, but I wasn't going to play.

It's always important when you play in a tournament that they have a basketball court and an arena.

You can lose a coach every once in a while. You really need to keep an athletic director because you need a guy that's there consistently for as long a time period as possible because he's managing everybody. He affects everybody and when he leaves, he affects everybody.

A coach coaches. That's what he does. That's what he's good at. He's not managing people. He manages his players, but that's different.

If you go to the Final Four, you can lose 20 games and it doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters in college basketball is going to the Final Four.

If we can lose 12 games every year and go to the Final Four every year, I'll take it. I'd rather do that than win 30 and not go to the Final Four.

The Final Four is what we play for. That's what we're trying to do. That's what's important.

It's so much harder to make the NBA than people think it is.

To stay in one time zone and play in a great conference - a great all-around conference, but, specifically, a great basketball conference - is a great thing.

The thing I hate about writers is they want to state their case and they use false information.

I never really thought that I was going to get out of coaching ever. In my fifth year, I thought I might get out. You have those thoughts in any job. But I never really, really thought I was going to get out.

As you get older, you should be better at coaching. You learn your lessons. You keep thinking and learning about it, you should be better than you.

I didn't work out from 30 to 68. I just started working out when I turned 68.

The NBA has never drafted a player for defense. At any position, even at center.

It's college basketball and there's a certain amount of uncertainty. As an assistant coach, you do the best job you can to win.
