This isn't the most talented team I've had. And in some ways they've driven me crazy. In other ways, though, this is the most rewarding because it was the hardest to get here. We really hit rock bottom at one point this year.

This puts us on the youth basketball map. There's all-star games, but this is the all-star game. It's the one everybody knows. There's lots of All-America teams, but when you say McDonald's All American, that's special. That game and those kids, to be playing here in San Diego, we're the basketball capital of the world for three or four days.

And now, to finish on the mountain top this year makes this championship really special.
