There is nobody like him. When you watch Roy play, from a coaching standpoint, he's everything you want a player to be. He has composure and seems to want the ball in tough situations.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
He was just magnificent. He put the ball on the deck, drove from 22 or 23 (feet), made threes. He really was a handful.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I think a lot of credit has to go to Louisville when you have a leader out. I'm not sure how well our offense would have been if we didn't have Marcus Williams. Marcus is not the scorer, but he is the runner of the team. He gets the ball to the right people in the right time at the right spots. They didn't have that tonight. They worked like crazy.

Quote by -Jim Calhoun
That was some rebound. There wasn't anybody who was going to take that ball from him.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
When the ball did fall in to send us into overtime, I thought we were going to win the basketball game.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
When you watch Roy play, you're watching, really, from a coaching standpoint, everything you want a player to be. He can pull up and make mid-range shots. He can pass the ball. He can rebound. He plays with great composure. He seems to want the ball in tough situations.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We'll have to take away the 3-pointers as best we can. We'll have to limit Quinn from having the ball as much as we can.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We turned the ball over 26 times yet I think our heart was shown on enough occasions. When you're down 10 points or down seven points with something to go, you need to call upon the reserves. There's something inside you that won't let you lose.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Both offensively and defensively, Craig is a big reason we're 11-0. So Craig will start Tuesday (in the Big East opener) at Marquette. He deserves that right. His defense up top on the ball sets up the rest of our defense. He's been a godsend.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
A lot of times games are built up and they don't fulfill their promise. This game more than fulfilled its promise. Villanova may be, pound-for-pound, the toughest team that we've played anywhere, any time. Early in the game, we had to match their toughness. They were getting every offensive rebound. They were hustling like crazy. Unless you have a tough team, you cannot win this conference. It was like an old Big East backyard ball amongst two really good teams.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
They doubled us, trapped up, took us out of our offense. They were allowed to be physical. The way this game was called and played, they were able to keep the ball out of the paint.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
They're going to utilize their quickness the best they can. We're going to try to use our size as much as we can. Certainly that makes for a very interesting battle. My guys' concern is getting the ball inside. If we get the ball inside, we'll be successful.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Their 7-for-9 shooting in the second half from 3-point land was something that really, really hurt us deeply. But the inability of us to get the ball into the paint was probably the thing that killed us.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I'm not that impressed by my team very much, but we were very good tonight. I can't think of a game where we shared the ball so well and ran so well.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
But I think Gerry, who has struggled to score against us, has increased his game. He?s a much better ball handler and a much better point guard. He seems to be very comfortable.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Because of all their traps and because they were allowed to be aggressive, they kept us on the outside with a lot of double-teams, stripping the ball. The way this game was called and played, they kept the ball from getting into the paint.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I don?t think he even had the ball when he shot it. I don?t think he even looked at the basket.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
He can get people the ball from 90 feet to two feet. I've never seen anybody get to the rim, and as a big guy comes over, at the last second put the ball in the hands of a big guy and have the guy dunk. He reminds me of Jason Kidd in that he could get that double-figure rebound game, he could get steals, assists, he certainly can shoot the basketball.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
The college game is controlled by guards, has been and will be. You guys are going to try to name all the great big men who have carried their teams to Final Fours recently. You're not going to come up with any. You're going to come up with teams that are dominated by good inside play and terrific guard play. In the college game, guys that control the ball control the game.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I'm better than Jon Jones. I'm better than Sean Combs. I am even better than John Holmes.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I thought if you tapped out, you lost the round. Come to find out, you actually lose the fight.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Brian Stann is a great guy. I voted him in for the President of the United States in 2008, and I will write him in again in 2012.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
All medicine is made to make you better. If it did the opposite, it would be malpractice.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Jealousy is a hell of a thing. There's a reason it's one of the deadly sins.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Triangle chokes are the refuge for cowards. I would never stoop to that level of locking my legs around a man and squeezing.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I was in Las Vegas when the Nogueira brothers first touched down in America. There was a bus - this is a true story. There was a bus that pulled up to a red light, and Little Nog tried to feed it a carrot while Big Nog was petting it. He thought it was a horse. This really happened.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Accosting somebody in public can be regrettable. Accosting a gangster can be hazardous.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I'm a God-fearing man, go to church every Sunday, and have since I was a boy. But if I ever found out that God cared one way or another about a borderline illegal fist-fight on Saturday night, I would be so greatly disappointed that it would make rethink my entire belief system.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Every fight day, I just stay in my room the entire day, and I just stay in bed. I sleep as late as I can, which usually isn't very late; I'm kind of an early riser. But I try to just stay there in bed. I don't usually eat the day of the fight. I don't eat until after the fight.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I'm a Catholic, and not because I just happened to wake up as a Catholic. I'm not going to be persuaded on any topic, especially not that.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
When I was young, they used to call me 'foreman,' not because I was in charge, but because I did the work of four men.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
A double leg in MMA is completely different than what you would do in wrestling because the posture's different. You're standing upright as opposed to bent over; you're slipping a punch as a opposed to grabbing a guy's elbow and doing a traditional elbow pull or slide-by in wrestling.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I listen to these pundits all the time breaking down Trump - 'He's brash, and he's bold, and he's successful' - and none of those are what it is. There's one word to sum it up, and it's courage. He has courage.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I don't really know what 'respect' means. That sounds like something a kid in the street says after he's getting ready to take your coat and your shoes.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
I love going to the ring hurt or sick or tired and trying to figure out how to win anyway.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
My dad was a plumber. That's hard work. He never missed a day of work. I will never disrespect him by not showing up for an athletic competition that has a maximum duration of 25 minutes. There should be forfeiture if you have to pull out of a fight. If you don't show up, it should be a loss on your record.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
When I'm a fan, I show up to boo. I don't show up to cheer; I show up to heckle.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
Cain Velasquez, for my money, is the most intimidating force ever in heavyweight combat.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
There are rules that say 'If a fighter gets old, when a fighter slows down, when a fighter stops looking the same, then he can never come back.' I don't like that.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
As fighters, the stark reality is, there's times in that cage when we want out. There's times when we've had enough and we want out, and we're able to recognize defeat.
Quote by -Chael Sonnen
