Coach Nutt was gracious enough to allow Alex back into the Razorback family. Alex is very humbled by that act. He knows Arkansas is a special place and the right place for him right now.

He is just so gracious.

He's very gracious to a young coach, as far as even knowing who somebody like me is. I have nothing but the utmost respect for Coach Williams, not only for him as person but way he does it.

My boss is gracious enough to give me a week off to work this tournament.

We're just being gracious and really enjoying it. We're not like the big schools. We've never had this before.

John's been humbled, ... He knows what's best for the team now. Last year, his best relationship was with Coach [Gary] Crowton. They were the only ones, you know, on the right page. This year, it's different. He's more calm and confident. And that comes with great coaching. His relationship with other players is better. He's more genuine. Before, he stressed out a lot. Now, he knows it's not all on him.
