VCU guard Joey Rodriguez's high school coach Reggie Kohn on his toughness:
“Whether it was a real game or just three-on-three, Joey was willing to dive headfirst into the bleachers. For a guy his size, you have to be tough. He has that willingness to fight for every possession and for every ball. His mind-set is ‘if there’s a loose ball, I’m getting it 100 percent of the time.’ Whether he has to push you into the bleachers or tackle someone. He’ll do whatever it takes.” -
