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.

We are blessed to bring back one of the finest young men to play basketball here at Temple University as an assistant coach. Mark is a remarkable man, both on and off the court, and our young players can truly learn something from being around him.
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.

They've got to learn how to finish games. We were fortunate enough to get a nice lead and we really didn't finish the way I wanted them to finish. We certainly should not have won.

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.

We tried to make them play faster. When you drive your car fast, you are going to get in more accidents.

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.

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.
arm broken bryant people saw weeks
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.

We ran into the rifleman. They put it all together, and they just destroyed us. Everybody had a gun but us.

I think our talent is as good as anybody's in the league.
I think he makes the difference. I don't know if it's a significant difference, but it's the difference.
