On defensive performance and Kim English scouting Colorado:
“Whether Kim was there or whatever I mean they were scouted well. They knew what we wanted to do they had us scouted well. Kim knew what they were doing but he would have been able to do that whether he was with him or not. Like I said, I thought they did a nice job scouting us too. First, it was important I think that his relationship really got the game on to be quite honest with you. I cannot even begin to tell you what Mike Schwartz and Reece Steven have done to try to get a schedule. I mean constantly still talking, still trying to find a game that we can fit in at some point in time. So, we can at least get to 25. Ken did a nice job and I said before I do not think there is a better coaching staff in the country in terms of game preparation, getting guys to understand what we need to do to win and he knows those guys. He is still very close to that staff. He has got a great relationship with all of them. I respect them as much as anybody because I understand the way Tad does things and we need more guys in college basketball with Tad Boyle type character.”
