Live in the moment that you are in.

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

I come from New York where, if you fall down, someone will pick you up by your wallet.

They call me eccentric. They used to call me nuts. I haven't changed. The only difference between being eccentric and being nuts is the number of security boxes you own.

Don't call me son unless you're going to include me in your will. (When Adolph Rupp called him, "Son.")

The nicest thing about coaching is that one day you feel like you can play handball against a curb, and on other days you feel like you can fly to the moon.

If a player leaves Marquette and doesn't have some of my blood in him, then I don't think I've done a good job.
