Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 1992101, member: 6761"] [U][I][B]GREAT ARTICLE! thanks so much, Rocky. [/B][/I][/U] Did we know this before? [B]Q: Most bitter defeat.[/B] [B]A:[/B] 2001 in the Final Four. We’re up like 13 or 14 against Notre Dame at halftime. And [B]I lost my composure in the locker room[/B], and I was bitching and moaning about this and that and the other thing. And our players kind of reacted not the way I wanted them to. That’s one that will always bother me. and of all the terrific stuff, I found this the most revealing (and in a sense, lonely): [B]Q: Were you rooting for Villanova the night they upset Georgetown?[/B] [B]A:[/B] I was raised in Philly, yeah, absolutely. But I never root for the underdog anymore. [B]Q: But you are the classic underdog.[/B] [B]A:[/B] I am. But now, I’m the top dog. We’re never the underdog. We never go into a game that we’re not the favorite. So I always root for the big favorites because I know how hard it is to be in that situation. [/QUOTE]
