You're not a loser in anything until you quit. Don't quit.
Scott Skiles was a master tactician - they're all masters, but he is elite. He knew how to manipulate his team from an X's-and-O's standpoint.
Little old University of Houston jumping up, swinging with the big boys, and that's something to take pride in. I'm happy for our fans, I'm happy for our alumni, but more importantly, I'm happy for our players.

My personality is more like my mother's. She was fiery. She had more of a temper. I always thought she had enough determination that she could do anything. She could fix anything. I think all children need that feeling from their parents.

Some guys have all this talent, and you wonder why they can't put it all together. Well, they don't do any of the little things.
My dad has always been my role model.
My main influence was my father. He was a great high school coach. I thought one day, if I got lucky, I could be a head high school coach.
I've been taking off my tie for a lot of years. When I take it off, I usually throw it down.
Iowa State's a great team; I know how tough they are in Ames.
