They Said It
"At the end of the day, regardless of what's being said and how much money is being thrown around - that's when I have to look myself in the mirror and say, 'Hey, these kids made a huge commitment to all of us.' That's where my passion lies.""The easiest thing to do in the coaching profession is when you have had an element of success, to take off and leave and take the next highest paycheck or go to the next elite program. That's never been the agenda for me. My agenda has always been what's best for the kids."
"I am thrilled to be able to stay here and continue what we've started. I don't want to be known as a 'hot commodity.' I want to be known as someone who was a part of building something special."
Trent Johnson, quoted in late March and early April of 2004, when he coached the Nevada Wolf Pack. Today, less than two months later, Johnson left his players to become the head coach at Stanford University.
