Part of the Q&A with Thad Matta, from yesterday's press conference.

Q. You look at Greg, he's big, dominant. People think it's easy for him. He's still a kid growing into his body. Can you talk about the challenges of coaching a kid like that who is maturing, if that's contributing to the foul trouble perhaps?

COACH MATTA: Number one, I've never looked at it as a challenge, coaching Greg Oden. I've looked at it more as a privilege of coaching Greg. I think you're exactly right. As people look at Greg, he's cast into this spotlight. Greg is a kid. He's 19 years old. Tremendous character and values.


Tell you a great story about Greg Oden. Last night we get into the locker room, and the first thing he asked me, he said, Coach, can you get Kyle down here? Kyle Madsen is a transfer who had to sit this season out. The NCAA doesn't allow him to travel with us. He wanted Kyle, who he goes against every day in practice, to be in the locker room, be a part of it.
When I told him the NCAA doesn't allow Kyle to come back here, you have to have this little pin. He was like, Man, that's not right. I think that says who Greg Oden is.

You know, I think with the foul trouble, I don't think it's a maturity issue. I think it's more Greg just having an understanding. The thing that we've said all year long, he's played now in 30 games. He's fouled out of one. I think just the timing. We need him to be around more.
But, you know, we've got to continue to play through that.
