And I would be the first to admit that probably, in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching, indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

I've never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.

I'm an unemployed teacher right now and I'm looking for a place to teach.

I don't think I have ever been out of control.

If I came in to recruit your son, I would tell you, your wife, and your son, that I will be the most demanding coach your son can play for.

As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.

The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.

I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.

Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win.

The key is not the will to win... everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.

Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.

Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.

When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!

Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk?

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.
