Quote from GMU basketball coach Larranaga, after being asked a question (after his team's loss to Florida) about repeating his recent run to the final four, next year: "the greater the expectation, the greater the pressure and the more likely you fall short"
It's encouraging from a personal point of view to see a sports figure with his recent success to reiterate some similar philosophy (expectations and measure of success).
