If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.
If my primary purpose here at Indiana is to go out and win ballgames, I can probably do that as well as anybody can. I would just cheat, get some money from a lot of people around Indianapolis who want to run the operation that way, and just go out and get the best basketball players I can. Then we'd beat everybody.
When I first started coaching, one of the worst things that I think I heard was 'It will be O.K.' I would wonder, 'How the hell is it going to be O.K.?' The worst word in the English language is 'hope.'
I have as many good friends in the media as anybody in sports has. It's just that I probably have a hell of a lot more enemies than anybody else.
We've gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that's why I'm glad I'm not coaching. You see we've got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he's still coaching. I really don't understand that.
I don't think I have ever been out of control.
Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk?
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.
People change over the years, and that changes situations, for good and for bad.
To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation
Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.
This is like the town council just hired a new marshal to clean up the town, I guarantee you, if I stay here long enough, they'll get rid of me, too.
I'm not sure sports writing is an art.
There are as many guys in coaching who do a lousy job as there are in the media. Those are two professions that are a lot alike. There aren't a hell of a lot of really good coaches or writers.
I don't intend to retire.
Competitive drills enhance quickness.
Writing was far more of an art in the sports world than it is now.
