During my 40-year coaching career at West Point, Indiana and Texas Tech, my teams reached the Final Four on five occasions, winning the national championship three times.
I just love the game of basketball so much. The game! I don't need the 18,000 people screaming and all the peripheral things. To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation.
Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
At one point, I said to the officials that you guys haven't called walking for 20 years, now you don't know what it is. When you call walking, you're about half right.
If the NBA were on channel 5 and a bunch of frogs making love were on channel 4, I'd watch the frogs, even if they were coming in fuzzy.
Parcells and I have learned a lot of things during a lot of years since we first met. But being graceful about losing has never been one of them.
My mistake was I stayed there too long,
I think we had an effort, but I don't think we played very well. If you're not scoring and not getting shots, it has a lot to do with defensive play.
In other words, any kid who's not sure about who he is, he's fair game to try to persuade to have same sex acts.
He said he didn't feel like he was helping the team and he didn't want to play anymore. I told him I was sorry it didn't work out for him. He said he didn't blame me, but I always blame myself when a player doesn't get out of it what we thought he could.
It's the idea that well, maybe people aren't born a particular biological sex, or they are but that shouldn't determine their gender identity. And that's a very big component of the homosexual activist agenda now.
Have you ever heard an admissions director be fired because a kid flunked out of school?
Marsha has done a great job with her teams over her entire career at Texas Tech. Her teams have set a very high standard on how the game of basketball should be played.
I'm not shopping this idea, ... All I'm doing is, if people express interest in it, I'm explaining our product. They're not giving me the time of day here. I'm absolutely perplexed by that.
