"I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate me."

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 why he
takes his wife on all the road trips, Phillips responded:
