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.

basketball freshman sophomore
The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores.

I just can't recruit where there's grass around. You gotta have a concrete lawn before I feel comfortable enough to go in and talk to you parents.

God didn't miss any of us.

All love affairs end. Eventually the girl is gonna put curlers in her hair.

It bothers me that the average fan, the average sportswriter for that matter, pays so much attention to what's in a box score. A box score does not properly represent the most important thing - team play. It shows some guy scoring 27 points, but it doesn't show that my 27-point man let his guy score 30.

My rule was I wouldn't recruit a kid if he had grass in front of his house. That's not my world. My world has a cracked sidewalk.

Life is what you allow yourself not to see.

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