Miami athletes' reputation safe

So I didn't post here as much as I would've liked to, but there was one funny tidbit from Miami's press conference before the Hurricanes played Texas that deserves some mention.
Former Rick Barnes assistant Frank Haith now coaches Miami. He took a page out of his old boss's say-anything-and-damn-the-reaction book after being asked about guard Jack McClinton and his penchant for delivering motivational metaphors to his teammates.
McClinton and the players had broached the subject earlier in the presser, and someone was curious to learn more about it. The reporter asked, "coach, your players talked about Jack giving metaphors before the game to kind of motivate them. Would you be able to share any of those with us and also just a little bit on Jack's leadership?"
Miami has a reputation for academics over athletics, and that's putting it nicely. Haith's tongue-in-cheek answer only reinforced it.
"That's a big word for my team to say, 'metaphor,'" he answered.
