goes guy job time
I'm just a blue-collar guy that goes to work, ... In any job I've ever had, I've never thought about a time when I would leave. I just go to work.
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.
both energy feed kids league offense takes team teams time
I don't think there's a team in the league that's better than us individually, both offensively and defensively. But it takes a long time to get kids to play with energy as a team. Team offense and team defense, there's many teams better than us. They don't feed off one guy.
five forgetting game instead passing role seem talent team telescope
In all my years I've never had a team that's had this much talent in five players. But they seem to see a game out of a telescope instead of binoculars. They don't see the whole floor. They're penetrating when they should be passing. They're passing it when they should be penetrating. They're forgetting the role of every player, and that's to communicate with one another.
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.

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.
ability guys
Not just athletes, but guys who have an acumen, an ability to play this game.
ability answer depressed physical
I'm really depressed and upset. When you can't answer with your head, you try to use your physical ability. You can't play like that. You have to use your head.
bone chain dogs fly hope kick meat tie whip
I hope they straighten it out. I hope you get him back. Make him do something. Tie him to a chain and put him out there with the dogs and give him a bone with no meat on it. Do something. If you want me to come and put a whip on his (bleep), I'll do that. Tell him I said it. If you need me to fly up here and kick his (bleep), I'll do it.
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.
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.
car drive tried
We tried to make them play faster. When you drive your car fast, you are going to get in more accidents.
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.
