Those kids, many of them were passed over by Big East schools and others. I tip my hat to their courage, to their conviction to staying with what they have, to the incredible coaching job that Jimmy did. That's going to be a very happy group down in Fairfield County, I'm sure.
More Quotes from Jim Calhoun:
With about 10 minutes to go we finally started to play basketball,Jim Calhoun
It was really fitting that Denham had such a great game. He was a horse out there, as far as handling the ball, especially when Marcus played such a poor first half. We sat Marcus down, talked about the Dow Jones and some other things. He came back and got us going.
Jim Calhoun
They don't measure heart by inches, they don't measure courage, they don't measure basketball instinct and intelligence.
Jim Calhoun
I've said all along that Marcus is the best passer I've ever coached. I think he took affront to that, because he had back-to-back 20-point games (in the tournament). There aren't many better point guards in the country.
Jim Calhoun
They're a good basketball team. They're going to be very tough out in their league. We gave up 24 points in a very short period of time.
Jim Calhoun
The lack of a second point guard is clearly our Achilles' heel on this team. When Marcus wasn't distributing the ball as well like in the overtime loss to Syracuse last Thursday in New York, we struggle. There is no more important player in the Tournament.

I was little there were times I wanted my parents to be normal. I wanted them to have a religion. I wanted them to have a job, like the parents of every other kid I went to school with.

You have to contort your body in a certain way to hit a low note. When you're on film, you can't. So you do, in a sense, get to hide behind your voice, which is nice.
