Whenever he needs a pick-me-up, I'll be there.

I just hope he comes back quick. He's an incredible competitor. Everybody looks up to him.

Seattle was just not very good. Nothing against the city or coaching staff or anything like that. I just needed a change and it was nice to get this one.

That made today pretty special, too.

It was like I was on suicide watch for two years. Coming here was a resurrection in some ways - no politics, no nothing.

I've got Duke winning it all. I've got a couple of surprises in there, but I can't say what they are. Then I'd I have to split my money.

I don't know what people thought if I forgot how to play, if I was hurt or what. I had people coming up to me saying, 'How was the surgery?' People think I was out 16 months or something. I didn't have any surgery.
