ability admire came forgot great love particular rise rough saw tremendous
The things that I admire him most for are his competitiveness and an ability to rise out of a rough neighborhood. The thing we all saw about him was his great love for his fans, in particular children. He just had a tremendous personality. He never forgot where he came from.
stand
I do not see that as a possibility. As I stand here, I just don't see a possibility that makes sense.
bought good nice overall since
I just have to look at the long run. In the long run, we've done some really nice things. Overall our team, since I bought it 10 years ago, we've been a really good team.
difficult
It makes it difficult, but no more difficult than it has been in the past. It won't make it impossible.
asking basketball both decision few fred front gotten join minute office past player retire waste
We have gotten to know Fred very well over the past few years, both as a basketball player and as a person. When Fred relayed to us his decision to retire we didn't waste a minute in asking him to join our front office staff.
cause certainly financial help player rid salary signed somebody summer until york
Yeah, it isn't that we couldn't use somebody like that. We certainly could with his experience, and we know him. It's that he was signed at a salary that's going to cause us problems. So it would be difficult, it would have to be one of those things where New York would have to say that they really want to get rid of the player and could help us in some financial way to do it. We wouldn't know until this summer if that would even be a possibility.
attribute betting build floor free growing guys hard head improve next players potential quality quickly quite season year
We'll let the whole year play out ... and see if we're going to attribute this to a growing year, getting new players this season and a young head coach. We'd have to build quickly next year, though. It's very hard to get a quality player (in free agency). Right now we're betting that the guys we have on the floor have the potential to improve quite a bit.

We don't have a top candidate at this point. I have never met P.J.

I have degrees in social science, math and physics. Everything but business.

I thought I might like to farm. But I didn't know the economics of it. Teachers basically steered me away from it.
background business family farm life prepare raised western
I was raised on a family farm in western Minnesota. So I didn't have the background to prepare me for this business life.
education
I'm a mathematician by education, but I have this other thing. A gut instinct.
businesses figure trying willing
For small businesses trying to figure out how to get big, I would say you are going to have to take some risks. And I think that is what shuts off most people. They are not willing take the risk.
affect based inner life pray talk
I think it's important to talk to your inner thing. The purpose is to go over the decisions that will affect my life and others. I pray that I don't make my decisions based on ego.
