Here is the exact quote:
``Antoine's a great player. Van Horn's a great player,'' Pitino said. ``A
lot of times, people say about Antoine's fire, `Why does he do that?' Well,
if you have 12 altar boys in this league, you're in trouble. You're going to
be taken to the woodshed. So you need some guys who will get after people
and not back down, and Antoine Walker doesn't back down from anyone.''

and for people like Howard David and others, who wanted captaincy taken from
him:

''Every timeout he would say, `We are not losing this game. Don't get down
if you make a mistake. Even in the fourth quarter,''' Pitino said of Walker.
''I've coached him for a long time, but I've never seen him like this. He
showed unbelievable leadership. He did it on the court, during timeouts. I
laugh when people say he is not a good leader. I wish they could have seen
this because this was textbook leadership.''
