Tom Davis Quotations

What made it hurt is that we told them what the play was going to be. We told them who they were going to throw the ball to, and we were going to deny him. Obviously we didn't execute, which was kind of the story of the game. They just seemed a step ahead of us.

We're still in discussions with some of the other sports. Hockey, in our judgment, has a fairly weak system.

We have quickness, we have athletic ability, good hands and good heads. We just don't have good games.

We have a responsibility, an obligation, to investigate it, and that's what we've done,

Maybe we've had more problems with them than other teams have, but that's a reflection more on us. We just haven't been as good as they have been as a team.

One of our goals was not to let them have a single rebound.

Nick Grant is a good example. He's getting it figured out about when to drive, and when to pull it out and use his abilities.

(Nick) does create negatives to go with his positives, ... because he's got positives. But he cannot be turning it over every other time down the floor. And as good as he is at penetrating, he's not as good a perimeter shooter, so he's got to pick his spots better.

I am disappointed that the sophisticated businessmen involved in this dispute have failed to strike a deal. There should be enough money and enough good sense to make a deal work for everyone. The only people hurt by this dispute are the fans.

He was a little more erratic in those early games. But he's more consistent now.

I always take a day-to-day approach. With my age, you just don't know. There could be health issues. And some of it is mental. If you don't have fun doing what you're doing, if you lose the part that's enjoyable about it, then you're not going to do a good job anyway.

Keeping our staff intact enables us to continue to recruit as well as teach.

I think (Stewart) understands that. The question is, can he apply it? Some give it lip service, but they won't get the job done. So it will be a great test for him. If he gets it done, that would be big.

Our inside guys have really developed nicely, and Jonathan Cox is a good example of that. And our guards do a pretty good job of rebounding. We've had pretty good balance.

Our perimeter defense has been very, very suspect.

I think this stops the rush of moving legislation through, ... were hoping for all along.

We couldn't find any evidence of steroid use prior to his testimony. That's not a finding of innocence, but it's a finding that we could not substantiate perjury.

We have to show when we say no, we mean no. Right now, just say no.

We were having trouble getting out on the shooters. They just drilled us.

Today's worker is looking for flexible, family-friendly work options. The federal government can't necessarily compete for talent with the private sector on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but we can make sure we are competitive in quality-of-life issues.

We never go into games expecting a blowout. We don't think, by any stretch of the imagination, that we should expect to blow out teams at the state tournament. We expect every game to be a close game and just hope to squeak it out at the end.

We would just get the rebound, and just get knocked down, knocked off of it. Our physicality is just not what it has to be.

The executive office of the president can wave a wand and get things done faster than anybody else.

We came down here to play two games.

We knew that once we got the ball out of her hand, it was going to be hard to get it back.

This will encourage businesses to come in and fix these problems, and right now there's some hesitancy to do that,

We're hoping we're not too awe-struck being on the floor down there. I'm the only one with any experience and my experience doesn't count.

You can look at objective measurements such as RPI ratings and schedule strength and stuff like that and see that we're closer. I can look at tape and see where we're improved, and where we're closer. But it's still hard to lose.

We don't see any other legal action we can take.

Even though we might have been as talented, we weren't as good (as 2004-05). We didn't execute as good as we did a year ago.

I've been coaching Alpine skiing for seven years and have never seen that.

The task before us is considerable. The American people want the facts, ... It's about getting the facts, not getting even.

(Texas) has done the humanitarian deed. Texas has the largest contingent of Katrina evacuees - 300,000. Thank God Texas is big.

stops the rush to move legislation through at this time.

Now, as I've watched him a lot closer, he has all the qualities you have to have. You have to be cool under pressure, you've got to be able to make decisions quickly. You have to see the big picture on the court strategically, and not get rattled.

This is exactly the opposite of what this legislation is intended to do.

This is great news for the entire region. This is a return to normalcy for Reagan National.

This is not the movies. There is no Tommy Lee Jones character who comes in and takes charge of everything.

This is a debate the American people need to have, but I think we have more important priorities right now -- getting tax cuts, getting this economy moving, getting an education reform package, patients' bill of rights -- these are, I think, higher priorities for the American people,

There's always some national context to state elections here. It probably all does matter, and up here that's probably not a plus.

There's always exceptions to the rule, ... but I think when you're looking at guards that don't shoot a great percentage, a lot of it is confidence.

It's a funny game. You just don't know what the home court is worth.

It's the way they built their program, and their success has come from that. And yet they have very good offensive players.

That's the first good news I've heard in a while.

It's been very easy. You must have a respect for each other and communication is important. Any problems you have at work stay at work because you solve the problem before you get home.

It's hard to believe they could beat them that soundly.

not a finding of innocence, but a finding that we could not substantiate perjury.

It's very hard, because you never know what you're going to get.

There was a profound failure to be proactive, a deep inability to execute,

That's an illustration of what's wrong with our club. We have a lot of guys who don't know how to play the game yet.

The core focus of this program is to provide our young athletes the experience they need to get on to another team with national focus. I think it also complements our skiing programs in terms of the physical training many skiers are looking for in the summer.

I hope you fly it here with the pride that we had it flown over the Capitol,

I love working with her. It's nice because we know each other's thinking.

If you don't have fun doing what your doing, if you lose that part of it that's enjoyable about this, then you're not going to do a good job anyway.

I noticed that the (drunk) individuals had moved on, ... He (the AT&T security guard) pointed to a package under a bench in front of the tower and told me that one of them must have left it there.

I don't think a three-second call was made all night. I thought that was traveling, but I'd have to look for sure. It looked to me like he shuffled his feet.

I appreciate President Maxwell thinking along these lines. I think he sees the big picture, of what we're doing and how we're doing it, and he wants it to continue.

Great crowd, great environment. It does impact the game. It can be disruptive to visitors.

You can often find the best information about family needs through their communities of faith. The connections we're making assure engagement of the entire community in the recovery process.

the type of self-initiated action we were hoping for all along.

The first thing I was impressed with was how well the guys honored Drake with their acceptance speeches. I thought it was one of the finest displays of feeling, emotion, appreciation and brevity that I had seen. The other part was how strong their feelings were for Drake. They spoke of their gratitude for the education they got here and how they were treated, things having nothing to do with basketball.
