Here are a few more of his hyperbolic gems.

• "Marra is the best pure shooter coming out of high school I have ever seen."
• "Palacios is every bit as good as Jamaal Mashburn."
• "This is the best team I've coached in 40 years." (No, not the '96 squad, or his 2013 team...no, it's this year's team, of course)
• On Damion Lee: "You know, he's a little bit better version of Ron Mercer, because he can put it on the floor."
• On Samardo Samuels: "...maybe the best freshman I've ever coached."
• On Russ Smith: "He's the closest thing I've seen to Allen Iverson at the college level."
