You wear your team out, and it’s hard to get them back.
What makes Freddy Krueger such a horrible character? What makes him scare you to death? You can’t get rid of the guy. He never goes away.
There’s certain things that I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if I would have come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think he would have kicked me out of the house. I don’t think I’d have a place to stay.
Steph Curry is special in terms of the kind of competitor he is.
Our players get scrutinized pretty hard at Alabama.
It’s great to see our players get some of their dreams come true.

You can’t get from A to Z by passing up B.
People talk about you won four national championships. Well, I feel like we’ve had good enough teams to win eight. So I feel like we failed four times. I feel like I failed four times.
I think when you win the national championship, it works throughout your team. Where human nature is to say, I did well. I got my quota this month. Now do I get some time off? Do I get a bonus?
