“Basketball is a full court game, so every drill must be done full court.”

The single most important aspect of coaching is running effective practices

I was worried about losing until I looked down the floor and saw Dale Brown. Then I knew we had a chance.

I don’t believe in luck, I believe in preparation.

We don’t want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What’s going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?

I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day.

I’m related to people I don’t relate to.

I think these days, as an artist, you have to be slightly entrepreneurial. …Nobody really sells records anymore.

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

Obviously, if the commander makes certain decisions that the reporter thinks is inhibiting his right to report a legitimate story, he has to appeal to the commander’s boss to get that changed.

I’ve always felt that, you know, the Almighty has a lot of things to do other than help my basketball team.

America has the greatest reputation in the world for helping others whenever and wherever disaster strikes. Now, more than ever,it’s important for us to contribute to those who are in need. Your assistance is really beneficial and will be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

The thing that bothers me the most about the media is simple accuracy.

Perform drills that force your players to think

Good basketball always starts with good defense!

My overall point is that ‘one and dones’ are not healthy for college basketball. I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize.

Offense is not equal opportunity

Golf is not a game of good shots. It’s a game of bad shots.

I don’t like the glamour. I just like the game.

Certainly, if you can’t manage your game, you can’t play tournament golf.

If we are to preserve the integrity of golf as left to us by our forefathers, it is up to all of us to carry on the true spirit of the game.

We hadn’t lost morale. But when you fight for four quarters, it’s tough to always bounce back. The offense kept us in the game the last two weeks and to get out with a win feels really good.

What if?’ history is a tricky game, but there is no doubt that the senior planners of D-Day – including Eisenhower and the British general Bernard Montgomery – believed that the Double Cross operation had played a pivotal role in the victory.

For many years Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.

The game embarrasses you until you feel inadequate.
