Occupation: Basketball Coach Birth: February 17, 1948 Death: December 1, 2012
They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression..
I have friends in Utah who care about me as a person, not for what I am. They'll call to see how my heart is, how my blood pressure is. That's import….
All things move on, good and bad. Never get too high or too low..
Blocking out is everyday, every drill, all the time. We run sprints every time someone does not blockout..
To those who don't think defense is important, you'll get the best seat on the bench..
One of the biggest reasons I like coaching college ball is the kids. I feel I can impact players lives.
My players on defense must have a hand-up on every shot. If not, they run sprints..
Those to whom defense is not important will have the best seat in the game.
It's good to be in on the action..
To win the big games you must get to the Free Throw line, and then you must make them..
Some guys smoke. Some guys drink. Some guys chase women. I'm a big barbecue-sauce guy. ... I'm like that guy on the Odd Couple, and it's not the neat….
Nobody thought I would be a great coach..
Most lay-ups and two foot jump shots around the goal are missed by not putting the ball up high enough on the backboard.
If you want to have a lot of success, you need to have a lot of failure.
When I die, they might as well bury me at the finish line at Churchill Downs so they can run over me one more time..
I really never look at my health issues as 'Woe is me.' I've seen the reality of that. And it's not a pleasant thing..
Pro basketball is a very mercenary endeavor..
Switch if you have to! It's not the mismatch that beats you, it's the open shot!.
Look, I haven't had hardly any bad luck. I never look at it that way..
I am a big barbecue-sauce guy..
The mismatch is not what gets you beat. What gets you beat is giving up the uncontested, open shot..
