“We'll address that when the season ends. I just have to sit down with Coach Waters and see where the direction of the program is going.”
Dan Waterstradt
“A good manager doesn't try to eliminate conflict; he tries to keep it from wasting the energies of his people. If you're the boss and your people fight you openly when they think that you are wrong - that's healthy.”
Robert Townsend
“The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.”
Pete Rose
“It was a great feeling (to sit out) because I didn't feel good at all, ... I was telling Coach when I was getting ready to go back in that I wasn't feeling that well and he just told me to come back, and fortunately everything worked out fine. I just didn't feel good. I was dizzy out there the whole game. Once I stopped playing at halftime and came back in, I just never felt right. I think I'm coming down with something.”
Allen Iverson
“When you sit in this chair at this place, you know if you've got great coaches that somebody is going to come in and steal them. It wasn't a shock when I got a call asking permission (to talk to McDermott). It wasn't really a shock when he'd been offered the job. And it wasn't a shock when he took it.”
Rick Hartzell
“When you sit on the bench, you never know when Coach is going to call your name. Mentally, I was always ready. Physically, it is difficult.”
Jake Tsakalidis
“It's tough to sit out during the regular season but it's a lot tougher when the playoffs are going on. It's not frustration for thinking you should be out there, but frustration that you want to be part of it. We have veterans that are doing the job and you have to be positive and keep the guys going.”
