per FSN:

"I think it helps them as players more than it helps me as a coach, because now they're going to feel more comfortable," Pitino said this week. "The first couple practices, they don't want to talk. They don't know how I'm going to react to certain things. So I constantly tell them, 'Ask Malik. Malik can give you a feel for what type of coach I am, how to deal with me, what to do, what not to do.'"

"As soon as I put in my release, I was contacted by a couple schools," Smith said. "But once I learned that Coach Pitino wanted me, I just dropped everything else and said, 'That's what I'm doing.'"

"Malik's a great player, great shooter," said Andre Hollins. "He knows Coach Pitino's system. He's helping us out. When we have questions, he helps us out. He's an unbelievably hard worker."
