lying beer over-you
I will be here and be around, watching over you. You can bet on that. I'll find a way to get some peanuts and take some beer and tell some lies.
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.
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.

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.
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.
hate cocky cities
As long as I'm in this city, I'm a lightning rod, ... People don't like me for a lot of reasons and I create all of them. I love it when they hate me. All my closest friends hate me.
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.
fingers hole stop
You can't put your fingers in any hole to stop this team.
feet guy shooting surprised
The guy that surprised me was Nardi. He was shooting from 25 feet out.
knows temple
You've got to have a Temple person who knows this university.
continue league plays sell sure teams top trying
The league's trying to make sure that we continue to sell ourselves. When our league plays top teams in the country, that's how we're going to get it done.
certainly game greatest home honored invited playing
It certainly is just outstanding that we get a home game after all of these years of playing in the NIT, and we are honored that we are invited to participate in one of the greatest all-time traditional tournaments.
basketball both excellent far great moment played stood teams
I thought both teams played excellent and stood up to the moment. It was a great moment in Philadelphia basketball as far as I'm concerned.
coaching deal doubt meet personal problem staff
I will not be here (tonight), but I have a coaching staff that will meet that challenge. I have no doubt about it. I just have to deal with a personal problem (today).
