Q: The men's basketball team is struggling compared to recent years and some fans appear restless because they are so accustomed to success under Billy Donovan. What's your message to them?

A: When I was growing up, my mother used to tell me that her father would go to the horse races and he always bet on the jockey, not the horse. I'll bet on our jockey every single day. He'll get this thing exactly the way he wants it, the way the university wants it, to what our fans expect. I don't worry one second about that. He's the best in the business and obviously we're fortunate to have him.
