When you're coaching at Kentucky, you're held to a different standard, and like in politics, there is a core group that absolutely loves you, and everyone else is trying to unseat you in any way they can - anything to trip you up; that's what it is. If you're not up to that, then don't coach at Kentucky.

I've always said I have more money than I can spend, than my children can spend.

I'm just trying to be the best I can be. I try to surround myself with people who are strong in areas I'm weak. Which is why I have such a big staff.

We don't get every kid. We get the ones we are supposed to get. It just kind of plays out that way, and it always has.

If I have the choice between experience and talent, I'm taking talent every time.
