I've already had three calls today asking, 'Are you guys still ready to do business?' ... And the answer is 'Yes.' I think everybody is ready to do business. It's just that you want to make a trade that conforms to the parameters that we've set up, and those are somewhat rigid, frankly.

That talk is ridiculous. Those are the same people who said Chauncey Billups was a bust. The fact is, it takes a while in the NBA, and it takes a while to make the transition from high school. The bottom line is, when we drafted him, there wasn't any commitment to play him in his rookie year, he was going to sit and learn from the veterans.

I went to M.I.T. in the summer of 1951. I had been an instructor at Princeton for one year after obtaining my degree in 1950. It seemed desirable more for personal and social reasons than academic ones to accept the higher-paying instructorship at M.I.T.
boils generate hard hopefully progress project rocky
It's hard to project because we're so young, is what it boils down - and inexperienced. It's probably going to be a little rocky in the beginning, and hopefully we can generate some progress over the season.
