Greg McDermott press conference- must watch

[superjohn]

This was pretty special to hear. Hurley and McDermott are both awesome...

He’s a good guy and appreciated what UConn did. We think the biggest thing in life is winning at times and then we see what happened to that kid. They played with a purpose.

This is why I love UConn basketball.
Respect and kindness.

and I Love Mac! if the money starts being spent- pound for pound BE coaches are still the best in the business.

I've always liked McDermott. He and Hurley have a connection off the court.

As he pointed out that he wanted to increase pace of play . Hurley and staff need to find improve on the transition defense and jacking up too many deep threes results in long rebounds and off they go .....

McDermott is a class act. He represents his profession very well.

Josh Dix went for 21/8 on 6-10 from the floor and 3-4 from 3. A lot of them were tough shots and he definitely rolled his ankle in the second half. Kid was playing for something bigger and sometimes you just gotta tip your hat.

Nothing but respect for Coach McDermott. Great coach, does things the right way. Had a little blip with that accidental racial remark a few years ago but all in all seems like a good dude. Sad to see him leave if the rumors of his retirement are true.

 

[husky99]

Well spoken.

Yes McDermott is a good guy but he is an excellent men’s basketball coach.

A non Creighton friend had an opportunity to to sit behind the Creighton bench one game and his observation was that if he had a son who could play at the Big East level then he would have Creighton on his son’s short list of schools. He said McDermott blended discipline in fatherly way.

McDermott’s teams are not good each year by coincidence.

I hope McDermott does not retire after this season as is rumored.

I would've posted this in the "Geno calls out fans of Men's team" thread, but that has been closed. When Geno talks, people listen.

Worried McDermott is going to take the Jay Wright path. Not sure he likes the direction

I hope he doesn't go out with a season like this. I cannot imagine he wants to end his career with a season like this. However, I think he has a house in Arizona and likes to golf on his free time.
