treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings."

Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to graduate
on time, no matter how long it takes." (now that is beautiful)
Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically
by height." And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle."
Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson hooking up again with promoter
Don King: "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to

morning regardless of what time it is."
Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim
Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby,

Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what
is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I
don't care.'"
Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a
player who received four F 's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're
spending too much time on one subject."
Amarillo High School and Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob Costas
