" Welcome back to the Hurricanes host two preview. Under the guidance that fifth year head coach spray paint my any returns to the hard wood falling one of the most successful seasons in program history. This summer -- signed a contract extension and will remain the head came for at least another five years. Frank -- sat down with coach tape."
" Let's say he can't give it to -- they play fights and hard place he -- green right with a Jack was very rough exact same thing. An exact coming off of his closest what you play."
" Coach going 2311 last year making the -- winning the first round -- taken Texas to second round. What kind of based is that -- streaks this year was no question that there it was a nice. Finished two year and it gives a chance to. Springboard into the next season and with the core group of guys coming back there's no no question I think that this team is excited. About the start of practice. When you look at some of the pre season rankings some people -- in the top 25 top three or four in the ACC. Are those expectations -- that kind of a double edged sword you know afraid I don't know that I pay attention now what I want our guys really pay attention knows there's rankings and because. Pre season rankings mean absolutely nothing and only thing I guess that it helps us occurred you know you show that is in your prospective recruits and say this is what people think about program at this point in time but. We have to do it on the court and those rankings don't mean anything early on."
" Did any good good runs good good good. And that's all right yeah."
" We have a lot of guys returning I think -- 3% of your scoring is back for what your guys happen to collectively -- veterans of we'll get a continue to build on what we did last season and an -- we -- eighteen you know we were. We're really good chemistry -- thirteen. I think we've got to continue to grow. Any any -- more guys involved offensively I like to see.

That last obviously there's a lot of guys that they had keep seasons what we're. They've improved their games but there's no question and lance improvement from the last twelve -- fifteen ball games of the season. -- gave us a chance to be really good basketball team and you know he didn't turn the ball only made big shots and he played really good defense from that point it's J-Kwon Jones might be the highest profile recruit you've had your tenure here. How what role do you -- for him this you know what can bring. Please address but -- there's no question he's very talented he's very gifted. I expect to quantified as well on the court early and he'll -- us when Balkans does it there are times last season when we would go against big wings physical wings. And we needed that got to go against men upon is at 662. Point -- She's very athletic he's very aggressive just no question -- has an impact. When you took this job you had a vision for this program what it could be -- how far down the road Halloween night. You know I don't know that I put a timetable on -- Francona can -- for you pitch to -- a fourteen year. You gotta be pleased with that he wanted to get yourself in the post season we got ourselves in post season three out of four years but what are you -- term -- today you force so.
