Norman deserved that award; he's a damn good director, ... The Cincinnati Kid.

He could handle longtime stars like Joan Blondell and Edward G. Robinson, and he also could handle Steve McQueen. Norman stepped in at the last moment (Sam Peckinpah had been fired after a week's filming), and that's not an easy thing to do.

I thought (the award) was well-deserved. You're talking about a kid who's the second-leading scorer in the league who has helped build a program. A kid that talented on a first-place team, I think he deserves to be rewarded for that.
