Willie Worsley Quotations

Kentucky was amazed at how disciplined and structured we were. You could see it on their faces. Black teams were supposed to run up and down ... and we'd pass the ball five, six or seven times. What bothered us was how people perceived us.

I think the kids got emotional and played one of their better games. We've played a lot of tough games and it's been a long season. They began to believe in each other and trust each other and realized we're only as good as the next guy on the team.

Lamonte is very talented. He's long and athletic. If he keeps his head screwed on straight, he'll be very tough to defend.

Yesterday we had a snow day and I gave the kids a day off. The way my kids are, it takes them a half to recuperate.

Open the gym up, roll the ball out, put the kids out there and have all the adults stay home, and you'll have a great game.

About the fourth or fifth time I've seen it. The first few times, I cried.

I'm a father, a grandfather, a teacher and a friend before I'm a coach. There's nothing more important to me than helping kids, and that's why I've never gone after a college job.

I just hope one day, since we bring out the best in others, maybe someone will bring the best out of us.
