Calhoun made an appearance at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and here are a few of his quotes:"We took a step back last year," Calhoun said. "There was something missing, toughness-wise, about us. ... We have to be a whole different kind of offensive basketball team. It still comes down to when we lost last March, what have we done to get better?….There's no question that it hurt us. I don't think there are any really good teams where the point guard doesn't have great confidence in what he's doing because he's getting yanked or something. If we can understand what truly our roles are, if we can be more concerned and worried about what we can do instead of what we can't do, we'll be fine."
"We have to be as good defensively and just a whole different kind of offensive basketball team. We just have to be so much better. We've got some ideas on ways we could do that."
"We hope that the veterans beat out (Beverly) because that will give us experience, but he's a point guard who makes other players better."
"We want to get a style of basketball that's more comfortable: run more, press more and play the best group of guys we can."
"If we haven't improved the way I think we have, it'll be an interesting year."
The taste of losing is still lingering on the coach's tongue and his drive should excel this team but to how far, we do not know yet. What we do know is that they will be bigger, stronger and more attuned to what Calhoun wants and with that they will be improved over last year.
