"I'm gonna miss coaching the seniors, but good God I enjoyed this year. Every single day I went to practice, it was a fun, fun time. Even when I got mad at this bunch, it didn't last very long. We've got a sensational team. They've done it on the court, they've done it off the court. It's a team I'm really, really proud of. I'm just sad that I'm not gonna get a chance to coach this bunch again the way it is. And yeah, it hurts not to be playing Monday night, but it doesn't hurt one iota, it doesn't hurt one ounce for Roy Williams. It just hurts because I'm not gonna get a chance to coach them in a national championship game. "Congratulations to Gary and his club. They were really focused, I thought. Perhaps them being here last year and coming back was a driving force for them, I don't know. But they played better than we did and he coached better than I did."
