I'm not sure that an athlete is prepared to be a role model. He has a lot of attention paid to him that he shouldn't have, and then the athletes tend to think of themselves as better than they are.

We just got our ass beat by a much better team. It happens once in a while. Does every team win every game?

My practices were not set up to be easy or enjoyed.

If universities want to save a little money, they ought to make some cutbacks in administration and in faculty people who teach one class a week.

As his team prepares, a coach's entire being must be concentrated on winning games.

As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.

I've always felt that, you know, the Almighty has a lot of things to do other than help my basketball team.
