We want to congratulate Fred on a tremendous basketball career. Fred is going to be an outstanding asset to this organization whether it be working with the basketball staff, or using his business skill set to help us on the corporate end of things.

Like I said, and I've said this, he's a tremendous coach (Weis). He's a great asset to this team from the time he was here and now he's a great asset to another place. We all miss him and at the same time we all realize we can't look back; we have to look forward with the guys we've got.

This year Washington is playing outstanding basketball. We've continued to play well, so each year when we meet, they get bigger and bigger with more excitement. It's beginning to be a big rivalry.

What a tremendous basketball game. Maybe not a lot of scoring, but a lot of heart and effort. That's one of the most physical games we've ever played in here. Our guys showed a lot of grit and determination, and really executed well in overtime.

It is unfortunately the end of his basketball career.

He'll be successful on or off the basketball court. I think he's got a 10-year career ahead of him. If not, he'll excel in the business world.
