If A Player Leaves Marquette And Doesn't

There's No One Who's Dropped On Top Of The Mountain. You've Got To Work Your Way To The Top.

I Tell The Players That They Can't Relive Any Day In Their Lives And That They Can't Relive The Minutes Of A Game, So They Should Make A Great Effort, A Mount Everest Type Effort, To Live Up To Their Potential. Success Is A Communal Type Thing, And If We Win, Then Everyone Can Be Considered Successful And We Can Move Uptown Together.

When I Was Losing, They Called Me Nuts. When I Was Winning They Called Me Eccentric.

I Went Into A Restaurant One Night And Ordered Lobster, And The Waiter Brought Me One With A Claw Missing. I Called Him Over And Told Him About It. He Told Me That In The Back There's A Tank They Keep The Lobsters In And While They're In There, They Fight And Sometimes One Loses A Claw. I Told Him 'then Bring Me A Winner.'

If You're Straight With Your Players, They'll Be Straight With You.
