I feel very confident about what we can get done here, ... They already have an established tradition and a winning attitude. ... I want to continue the commitment to excellence.
You don't win championships by just being normal, by just being average.
Winning is about having the whole team on the same page.
Winning and losing isn't important to me so much as playing to a certain level. If we play to the level that I expect our team to play at, we should have three victories this weekend.
Edwin Harper's extensive business experience and his keen knowledge of financial services and insurance will augment and complement the strengths of our Board. We welcome Ed to Allied Capital and know that he will make considerable contributions to our company and our leadership team.
They just need to forget what I've told them and play (as if) I've never told them (anything).
The setters struggled (last weekend), but we had practice just for the setters on Monday and Tuesday and they've been perfect,
I love to cheer, and yell, and joke and to celebrate the best basketball in the world. And to see these new players, to see how good they are-guys like Paul Pierce and Jason Kidd and, of course, Shaq and Kobe, who are just off the charts. It's a real pleasure.

The team seemed tired and lethargic (against Sacramento State) and not really mentally into playing that contest. I don't think we'll have that problem this weekend at all.
I grew up in San Diego in a non-athletic environment. My parents were not interested in sports. Their loves were art, literature and music. I gravitated towards sports because of my older brother Bruce and the first coach I ever had, who, like John Wooden, made it fun and really emphasized the joy of playing the team game.
