From BEB: Great quote by Gonzo
« on: January 02, 2008, 09:48:01 PM »
this is from BEB but here are some quotes from Bobby Gonzalez:

"The guys that are losing in this league and the guys that are nice guys, the other guys that are winning, they want the nice guys to stay in this league forever," said Gonzalez, whose Pirates (9-3) open league play Thursday against UConn (9-2) at the Prudential Center.

"They'll compliment them, hope they get contract extensions. And they'll say nice things about the guys they're beating for the next 20 years."

Boheim also had a good quote in the post game spotlight

He was talking about as a coach you'll have everyone second guessing you thinking they can do better the dentist, lawyer, butcher, etc. You just have to tune it out and it took me 25 years to really start tuning it out.

sounds familiar too

there goes a bigtime coach complimenting the nice guy again. 

and by the way, the fans arent the only ones thinking that norm isnt a good game coach.  high school and aau guys are starting to believe the same thing.  those guys' opinions DO matter because norm has to recruit their kids.  just ask kob.

you're right but there is more to coaching in college basketball than just in game. Please don't think I'm defending here either because I'm not. In game coaching is something that needs to improve and the opinion of aau/hs coaches do matter.
