On Callaway decision and is he fully eligible to play in first game...
"That's one of those deals that, obviously I can't (comment), like the university can't. I'm part of the university and I kind of follow their lead."
On his thoughts on Callaway, regarding some details in the hearing officer's decision letter...
“Here’s kind of the piece to that. You know what guys part of our job is to help educate. If there are some issues, find help. If it become habitual, then there are some consequences. At the same time, through the stuff we do. Through the education piece, I’m here to help him. And I’m here to make sure if there something there that isn’t a one-off but obviously is something that is going to be a huge problem, which you’re obviously aware of some of the cases here over the years that have missed some things because of those details. I truly am here to help these guys learn, grow, become better fathers when they grow up, help society and help their communities. Any way I can do from teaching through historical precedence, be it something good or be it something not so good, that’s really what it’s all about it. That’s something we’ll do. If it becomes one of those deals through the counseling hasn’t worked and that kind of stuff, then there will be some harder consequences - and yet those haven’t come up yet.”
On Callaway's growth...
“He has dealt with a lot, obviously not being allowed on campus, not being part of the family, not being part what we can do to help, be supportive. There was a lot of time there, a lot of time to sit and think and really look deep down inside of you and say what am I learning from. So, what I have I seen? I think time will tell.”
