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.
foul nation shots team
This team makes more foul shots than any team in the nation has taken.
great guys rebounds stop
We could not get rebounds and we could not stop their big guy, Williams. Our big guys aren't tough, and this (Duke) is a great team.

We could not stop him and we could not rebound. Our big guys are just not tough. They're not.
great guys player stop williams
We could not stop the great player in Williams inside. Our big guys are just not tough.
basketball winning guy
I always say to my guys, 'The most important day of your life is today. This very minute is the most important of you life. You must win this minute. You must win this day. And tomorrow will take care of itself.
jobs passion long
I have said all along that I would know when it would be time to step down and now is that time. I want to thank Temple University, its fans and community for allowing me to do what I love for so long. It has never been a job for me, but a passion.
giving people fans
The fans are bad everywhere you go, with language, and with behavior. You can't put enough cops in the stands, but you ought to give the cops cameras, give people cameras, so they can take a picture of the idiot and you can identify him.
down-and steps would-be
I have said all along that I would know when it would be time to step down, and now is that time.
team reality ostriches
I don't want a team that escapes from reality and escapes from the truth. I don't want people who are always escaping, who always have a story and are always conniving. An ostrich tries to escape from the truth. Isn't an ostrich the thing that puts its head in the sand? But guess what's sticking out when he does it? It's ass, that's what. I don't want a team like that......Because when you have a team like that and trouble comes, that team will not face the trouble.
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 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.
destroyed everybody gun ran
We ran into the rifleman. They put it all together, and they just destroyed us. Everybody had a gun but us.
ball easily four nobody players shoots
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.
