Let the assistant coach come up to me and say, 'Gerry McNamara is overrated.' I'd like to see one of those guys come up to me and say that. He's been double-teamed all year, and the coaches voted him first team all-conference. The head coaches, they don't know (expletive), I guess.

We keep playing all these teams, we're going to find that assistant coach who thinks he's overrated. Or that guy is already home.

If the other guys had played better all year, I'm sure (McNamara being called overrated) never would have come up.

These guys wouldn't let it get away. Gerry wouldn't let it get away. He amazes me. He's got more guts that anyone I've ever coached.

This is the best one for sure, ... It even fits perfectly. It has permanently banished all of the bad sport coats.

I remember one time (Ozark assistant) coach (Kevin) Armstrong was going to take me to a tryout for a coach at a college in Iowa and I spent the entire weekend partying. I was just feeling dead and terrible and called him up and cancelled the trip. I just think back to how stupid I was to take away all of those chances I had.
