We could not get rebounds and we could not stop their big guy, Williams. Our big guys aren't tough, and this (Duke) is a great team.

We've got to stop Caner-Medley. He's a machine once he gets going.
game hold lost match minutes seven six
For us to hold them in the 50s with six or seven minutes to go, that's good. We just couldn't match them in baskets. The game was lost early.

Bryant was back in 2 1/2 weeks when everyone thought his arm was broken. It didn't look so broken to people who saw him play.
allowed bad check class coach dna games manners ought stuff team throw wish
I wish there were some way we could check the DNA on some of these SOBs that are allowed to come to games and show bad manners and throw stuff at Duke's team -- a class coach and a class team. Why is it that we find that all over the country, not only in college, but in pros? You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot, and do something about it, so you'll not be able to see it again.

city guys hurricane katrina lightning money phil relief resolved rod sent singing
Phil and I resolved it. We sent money to Katrina (the hurricane relief fund). That's what we did to resolve it. But if you want to keep singing that same song, go ahead. Philadelphia don't let nothing go. You guys don't let nothing go. I'm a lightning rod in this city and I know it. . . . Without me you don't have any news.
coaches commit convince easier eyes feels gain good kid lifestyle looks mike others sees tyson understand waiting
We go into neighborhoods as coaches and think we can convince a kid that 'son, if you get educated, you'll go to college, have a good job, a car,' ... That's bull. We don't understand that as he looks out of his eyes and sees Mike Tyson and others like him as heroes, he feels everything is instant. He thinks, I can gain a lifestyle without waiting 10, 15 years. It's easier to go out and commit a crime.

It was a common foul. That was all it was. It was a hard foul that every player in the world takes and every coach in the world takes.
chance decision faced gave great problem temple time traumatic
It's always a very traumatic time, but it is time. Temple gave me a chance to make my own decision and that's the great thing about it. Right now I'm faced with another problem with my wife, so it's the right time to go.
amazing call fail fall few good leaders learn lessons lies mistakes people saying seem simply spoken themselves words
It's amazing to me that we don't seem to learn lessons when mistakes are made. ... Words that are spoken are simply lies and very few of us will call it like it is. ... Many of our leaders fail us. They find themselves saying things to make people feel good and many people fall for it.
