good health stay
I'm 73, ... I'll stay as long as my health is good and that's just the truth.
coach common foul hard player takes
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.
along ball bounce dribble remember rest somewhere stay talk
They just want to bounce the ball and dribble the ball, but I talk about things that are going to stay with them for the rest of their lives. Somewhere along the line, it will reverberate and they'll remember it.
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.

We tried to make them play faster. When you drive your car fast, you are going to get in more accidents.
foul nation shots team
This team makes more foul shots than any team in the nation has taken.
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.
ball easily four nobody players shoots
Villanova could easily be No. 1 in the country. There's nobody that shoots the ball as those four players on the floor, not even Duke.
floor guys learn maybe pay teach took win
We try to teach our kids. As much as I want to win a ballgame, I had two guys on the floor that I took off for that reason. Maybe they will learn a lesson. Maybe it will pay off for us later.
league parity
There's so much parity in our league that they're all favorites. I think we're the underdogs. Put that out there.
basket difference earlier floor increased manage minutes question respect team trying underneath
There's no question about the difference he makes when he's on the floor. He's increased his minutes on the floor from 10 to 15 minutes. We're always trying to manage his time, getting him to come back slowly. He makes a lot of difference when he's underneath the basket .The other team has to respect him being there. We just didn't have that in earlier games.
dug early guys hole ourselves pressure stop stretched though
They made shots. It is just that simple. We couldn't stop them. We didn't put enough pressure on the ball, even though we stretched out the defense. We let guys get off, and we dug ourselves a hole early in the first half.
check dna ought
You ought to be able to check the DNA of an idiot.
carry gold good happens shoot somebody
This is not a good team. It's fool's gold with our shooting. What happens when they don't shoot well? You have to have somebody to carry the day. This is just not a good team, not at all.
