Southern Illinois hoops coach Barry Hinson rants 'size doesn't matter'

Coaches’ post-game rants have given us classics like “Playoffs…playoffs?” “I’m a man, I’m 40,” and “You play to win the game” in the past. Now, thanks to Southern Illinois head basketball coach Barry Hinson, there’s a new phrase to put in the pantheon:

"I've been telling my wife this for years, size doesn't matter." (He was discussing rebounding.)

After his team lost 73-65 to Murray State and fell to 2-8 on the season, Hinson hit the podium to discuss his team, his thoughts on pet training and his wife.

Hinson on his team:

“We're soft. Gotta bunch of mama's boys right now."

Hinson on guard Marcus Fillyaw:

"Marcus was absolutely awful, that's about as PG rated as I can say it. He was awful. Our guards are awful. Our three starting guards had one assist and seven turnovers. They must think it's a tax credit."

Hinson on pet training:

"When you've got a young team it's a lot like house training a puppy dog. When the dog does something wrong [smack] bad dog! I'm not gonna hit 'em, I'm not gonna swat 'em, but bad dog."

And Hinson on his wife again:

"My wife, MY WIFE, can score more than two buckets on 11 shots because I know my wife will AT LEAST shot fake one time."

The fun starts around the 1:15 mark but the really good stuff is about three minutes in.
