Villanova senior forward Shane Clark was asked recently to describe his thoughts on what 'Villanova Basketball' is:
"Just doing al the little things, making tough plays. Diving on the floor, getting the rebound. Doing whatever it takes."
It is always great when the players and coaches are on the same page in terms of what they expect out of each other. Coach Wright, who is a Villanova alumnist, has a no-nonsense style when it comes to giving a maximum effort as stated in the Philadelphia Daily News:
They know what makes Wright the angriest: showboating, moping, missing a defensive assignment, not giving 100 percent.
"If there's a loose ball and you're in that area and you're not diving on it, that would make him the maddest," Dante Cunningham said.
"He feels a responsibility to everybody that came before us and before him to lead this great tradition in the right direction," Scottie Reynolds said, "and the only way he feels he can do that and take full responsibility of that is us playing hard and playing together, playing smart and playing with pride. . . . If he sees that you're not doing that, then he has to make some changes."
