Toward the end of Carmel’s life, the perception of super talls shifted dramatically, thanks largely to televised NBA games, By 1975, pretty much everyone had seen super tall people on TV, in the context of...

That’s a very, very good basketball team we lost to tonight. We struggled at times, but our guys played hard. It wasn’t our effort that hurt us. Central just had too many weapons. Every time...

We’ve just been playing steady basketball the whole season.

I like wooden shoes—John Wooden. They are better for playing basketball. Nail them to the hardwood floor for increased shooting efficiency.

I did a lot of other things besides scoring the basketball. I got my guys a lot of open looks. I played good defense. I think I had a good all around game, but I...

It’s early, real early. There’s still a lot of basketball left.

No two umpires, or no two referees, have the same strike zone or call the same kind of a basketball game, … And ballplayers and basketball players understand that, depending upon who the umpire is...

I was proud of the way the boys took care of the basketball.

I tell the players, ‘I’m sorry that you got hurt, but there’s not a thing I can do about it’. You’ve got to go forward. That’s the only thing I know. That’s what I’ve tried...

Hughesville has had a decent basketball team once every five, six, or seven years. I think some people didn’t even know we had a basketball program when I first took over.

The director knows that right now basketball is tops, so he works around that.

I’ve had some kids in the past that we’ve taken from the basketball court and they’ve had a lot of success.

You have to mature every year, both mentally and on the basketball court. Hopefully, this is the time it happens to me.

Boy, he was just an efficient basketball player as a senior. And when you think back on some of the really good senior players who have played in Madison, you think of those moments where...

In middle school I played against you once. And lost. I was so frustrated that I continued practicing even after I retired… And then when I entered high school, hell yeah, I laughed. The guy...

Going into that game we wanted to play the same basketball we’d been playing all year. The odds were against us, we were playing on the road, but fortunately for us we went out there...

We are playing with confidence. It is clicking right now. We are starting to understand how to control a basketball game, and we are jelling as a team at the right time. It is a...

I think we didn’t play our style of basketball in the second half. I don’t know what happened, but you have to give credit to them because they played good defense and took us out...

I played in Joe Louis in a playoff game. I played there when the roof caved in for half a season. The facility is great for basketball because it goes straight up, so you feel...

I thought the kids showed up and competed. It was a very high-level college basketball game.

He does more in the game of basketball than make baskets, but certainly we don’t win without him making baskets. You can get other guys to rebound. You can get other guys to steal the...

I love basketball. I love football. And to me, I think that’s a dimension that you don’t see with a lot of female leads, especially. I have a genuine love for it, and I always...

The good thing about being a basketball team is that you play a lot of games. We have a game against New Mexico State, and we have to bounce back.

I knew we weren’t going to keep shooting the basketball like that. The best thing about the way we’re shooting it now is, not only are we making shots, we’re making tough shots.

We had our fun, but now it’s back to basketball.

I think that free throws are the most overlooked thing in basketball. There are some coaches who don’t even practice them. We try to get in 100 every day.

I don?t know if people have to play perfect against us, but we like to play pressure basketball. When you see us during warm-ups, we?re not imposing. But we are athletic.

Get the big picture! See 2 Believe!

Give Bowling Green credit, they never gave up. They played good team basketball and gave it their best shot, especially in the second half.

It doesn’t get any easier. We are going home to play the best team in basketball. That’s the beauty of this league, you do it on a nightly basis and we can keep trying to...

I hate to see him go. He’s been great for the game of college basketball.

This is terrific news for basketball fans in D-League markets, … Now, in addition to seeing the best basketball players in the world not playing in the NBA, they will have the opportunity to see...

Fear. We couldn’t catch the basketball cleanly and you don’t have a chance when someone bobbles it and tries to shoot it because then you’re going to eat it.

Who could better motivate Bill Russell than Bill Russell?

We played our best basketball of the season in the first half. We were very aggressive and shot the ball very well.

Your limits are somewhere up there, waiting for you to reach beyond infinity.

I’ve got four senior starters who remember playing against New Mexico and know it’s going to take disciplined basketball to beat them, but I don’t really have any one star who will take over that...
