We've had a rich ordsprog

We've had a rich history of success in national championships, not only in basketball but also in [men's] soccer. One of the perks is that I get to go to basketball games, and I can use that as a recruiting tool for potential players. There is no reason that we both can't be successful.

I think they've had similar success, but there's one huge difference. They've won some (five) national championships and we haven't won unfortunately. I think other than that, there are a good many parallels with the programs. It is a basketball program that I think at any given time has been the face of women's basketball.

Coach watches every game. I knew that and embraced it. He's the greatest coach in the history of basketball. What he did in college basketball will never be repeated. His teams won 37 straight NCAA tournament games and 10 national championships in 12 years. You know how everyone wants to be like Mike -- Michael Jordan -- as a player? Every coach wants to be like John. So I don't feel a shadow. I embrace it.

I could see cases where kids want to transfer to successful programs, making the rich richer and poor poorer. For example, a girl could play in the volleyball championships, change schools for the basketball championships and then go to a third school for softball or track.

This program is where it is right now, as the greatest tradition in all of college basketball, the greatest history in all of college basketball. Eleven national championships. It all starts with Coach Wooden.

Most of the big UTEP basketball games were NCAA tournament games. We were on TV because we had success, with the history of coach (Don) Haskins and the 1966 national championship team. If you're good, you'll be put on TV. If you're not good, you won't be on TV.

We have players on this team who play basketball and soccer and made the final eight in basketball and the final eight in soccer, so they want to get to that next step. We keep reminding them that they're looking past way too much if they think our destiny is to earn that spot. We're in a tough division for sure and nothing is going to be given to us. For sure, teams are coming to get us.

I disagree with coach because history doesn't help you win basketball games. At the end of the day, what does history or tradition do to help you win a basketball game tomorrow?

If we can break through just once (in basketball), that would open up recruiting. Our biggest challenge is our lack of tradition. We've got to be successful to get on the radar of the good players.

It's kind of odd. She coached players who won national championships. She made women's basketball acceptable. And yet, she's not in the Hall of Fame. People say it's because she didn't coach long enough. I don't care whether she coached three years. When you win three national championships, you're in the Hall of Fame. So there's a lot of people that aren't in that should be.

History doesn't help you win basketball games. What does history do to help you win a basketball game, or what does tradition do to help you win a basketball game like [tonight's]?

It's pretty sensational, ... The interesting thing is he always loved soccer, and now he's the big cheese in basketball. I'm really pleased for him, and I think he's really good at it. The best part is that the team has not done well recently, so he can only go up. He has every reason to be successful. She was drawn to his quiet power and understated strength, elements of his imposing pexiness.

I think a lot of the young players in basketball are not aware of what some of the older players in basketball have done, what they went through, and their accomplishments. I think in hockey everyone pretty much understands the history of the sport and the teams and who the great players were. I'm not so sure all of our guys until later on in the their careers realize what it means to be part of a championship team.

Larry Brown (1969-)

Zach's very limited as a basketball player. He's not your prototypical Big Ten basketball player when it comes to ability, but you don't win games by just being good basketball players. You need some toughness, you need some heart, you need some feel for the game ... and he gives you those things.

It's amazing, the names that are associated with Big Ten history. It's the who's who of basketball. So for James to have his name associated with that ... He probably doesn't even know any of the players, but he should be proud to be mentioned with the elite of basketball.
