Tony Roberts Quotations

I have always been fortunate that when one door closed, another one opened up for me.

Where else could you do that much basketball? The great football rivalries plus we also did some south county games, Crown Point, Merrillville and also Valparaiso.

Another door opened, I did the Washington Bullets and the U.S. Naval Academy. I've been very fortunate in my career.

This area was great for locution because you had a lot of Hispanics, Serbs, Croatians, Poles, people of Slavic descent. If you left there and couldn't pronounce a name, then you had to be a dummy. It was just a great place to hone your skills.

I can remember the fans going over the scorer's table onto the court. The Calumet Region was just great in sports and Gary was a great place.
