The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.

From a basketball standpoint, this team is going up. And I wanted to be a part of it.

It’s not going to be easy. They’re a very good basketball team, got a lot of discipline. … But I’m not sure, at the same time, they’ve really faced especially in the last 14 games...

Coach Blair’s team showed marked improvement last year and judging by the way his team is practicing, I see that success continuing, … He is a wonderful representative for Texas A&M and women’s basketball, and...

He’s one of those special kids. At the end of the night I look up and he has big numbers. His best basketball is ahead of him.

As far as the approach to coaching, it’s no different. Basketball is basketball. The kids just want to learn the game.

I can’t palm a basketball.

I have a junior varsity team playing varsity basketball.

I’m a basketball player. That’s what I do.

I’ve had the most fun with basketball tournaments, auto racing and the football season, but you can’t forget Maine hockey.

We ran into a team that played better basketball than us. I think we can play a lot better and we can shoot a lot better, and the other team had a lot to do...

Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that’s very disappointing.

We just have to play better. We’re in control of our fate. We just have to play better basketball down the stretch.

You’ve got to give them credit defensively, but we just weren’t really strong with the basketball. There were three or four times where they just took it from our hands. We were just careless, and...

We have to play our brand of basketball, no matter what they are going to do. They will slow it down, but we have to take control of the game so they can play our...

I’ve written in every imaginable location; a repurposed closet, the kitchen table, the bleachers while my kids had basketball practice, the front seat of the car when they were at soccer. In airports. On trains....

We found a combination there that was moving the basketball, and I thought we were pretty fresh with it. We got the spurt. I thought we were getting better and better shots.

That’s three games in a row that he’s played really unselfish, hard-nosed basketball.

Penny’s best basketball is ahead of him. He grew up playing guard and has grown eight inches in the last two years, which gives him the unique quality of possessing height as well as perimeter...

I think sometimes basketball teams north of the Trinity River are sold short. It speaks well of both teams. It speaks well of northern suburban basketball.

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I’m also a very passionate football fan.

We corrected a big no-no from the Georgia game in taking care of the basketball.

We really focused on controlling the basketball and making them work on defense. To make the separation we had to do the grunt work.

We played a full 40 minutes of sound basketball.

It’s the greatest sound in college basketball. The crowd makes this noise, like ‘ oh no ‘ when a guy who’s hot gets the ball and has an open look. Even before he shoots, before...

Monroe is an outstanding team. That’s how playoff basketball is.

Me and Nico always played basketball in the summer.

We’re extremely disappointed that our institution has been cast in a negative light as a result of our men’s basketball scheduling practices the past three years. I honestly believe that Iowa State University did not...

I think most veteran coaches (and) most fans understand that it is easier to create a tournament atmosphere, a basketball-like atmosphere in a building that is made for basketball. The spaciousness of the domes (creates)...

The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play ‘Drop the Handkerchief.’

I really didn’t have any jitters. We’ve both played in a lot of basketball games, and we really don’t get caught up in the hype.

Ohio State has a strong agricultural program and the other schools didn’t have what I wanted. I’ll miss (basketball) but education is the most important thing at this point.

I knew Ed’s intentions were good. Ed is just a basketball guy and that’s what I appreciate about him the most. He’s going to add a lot to any bench he chooses to be on....

They know each other on the basketball floor, but they also are good for each other. Jeff is more cerebral and knows how to keep his emotions in check. Sylvester has had trouble controlling his...

It’s an exciting school to be part of, obviously a football dynasty, less so on the basketball side of things, but I’m excited that they are here. They are the number 8 seed and I’m...

I still think we’re playing our best basketball right now. Sometimes, when you lose, you actually win. We’re not going to be seeded for the tournament, but I really don’t think anyone wants to meet...

I think we’re a great basketball team and they thumped us pretty good in the second half.

There’s no round two in the tournament. We’ve got our hands full. Memphis is playing very good basketball and starting to gel. Round one will be a difficult match for us.

We’ve tried to do a lot of things this year to embrace the history of Tennessee basketball.

She’s in her seventh or eighth life as a basketball player.

I would like to thank Morgan State University for the opportunity to coach the men’s basketball team for the last five years. In addition, I would like to thank all the past and present student...

Offensively you have to protect the basketball. They?re so great getting the easy buckets and getting runs off of that. You have to attack them and you can?t sit back on your heels. There are...

We have only lost to two teams in the region. I think we are playing our best basketball right now.

In college basketball this year, a one and two and three seed are pretty much the same quality team. So I don’t think a 15 or 14 or even a 16 will change the way...

[On writing:] “There’s a great quote by Julius Irving that went, ‘Being a professional is doing the things you love to do, on the days you don’t feel like doing them.'”(One On 1, interview with...

I had a dream about you. You were 1882, and I was 1982. You said you were older, and I replied that I was taller. Still, for being a midget, you were pretty good at...
