I was just trying to project forward what it would look like after this season. Winning is important, but is not the sole reason we have an athletics program. I want to be competitive and we weren't being competitive, but there were other issues.

We'll sit down with David [this] week and discuss the season and the future.

It's been a real tough day. I think, by and large, everyone's disappointed in the kids. You recruit kids, you invite them to your campus, and you just hope they're quality people with character. Then they do something stupid like this.

This is always a difficult decision to make. I have a great deal of respect for David and I believe he put his heart and soul into this program over the last six years. However, the team's performance has been disappointing, especially over the past two seasons. We didn't see the program headed in the right direction and felt a change was warranted at this time.

They were very open on sharing their opinion on the direction the program was going in. There just wasn't any enthusiasm in the community. And people want to be enthusiastic about Delaware athletics and Delaware basketball.

It was the most difficult decision I've ever had to make, because I truly like and admire the man.

When we got closer to making the deal, something there was nagging at us.

Satire is enjoyable compensation for being forced to think.

A satirist is never certain whether he/she will be acclaimed or punished.

Satire is the antidote to Pollyanna and Dr. Pangloss. It focuses our gaze sharply upon the the contrast between things as they are and as they should be.
