per Marcus:
"Coach (Tubby) Smith was a yeller, and he really tried to motivate us," senior Austin Hollins said. "When necessary, Coach Pitino gets on us. I've said that a lot, that he has good balance between yelling and praising. I think he does a good job of that."
"That's the way we run things," Pitino said. "There's not normally a lot of resistance. I'm the coach; they're the players. I wouldn't like them to yell back at me. You know Andre Hollins, you'll yell at him and he smiles at you. I'll say, 'Why are you smiling at me?' But they've all been really, really easy to coach. For Year 1, it's been not easy, but they're fun to be around on a daily basis."
