Not a week goes ordsprog

Not a week goes by when someone doesn't call me Larry, and every time it happens I take it as a generous compliment.

Maybe I shouldn't have cursed. I had just given him the highest compliment last week when I said he's one of the pitchers I respect most in the league, because he doesn't clown, he doesn't showboat. He just pitches.

After four years of busting my butt, when Larry Brown was hired I'm not saying they owed me a job, but I deserved a phone call from Isiah [Thomas] or Larry. I got nothing. I've never said two words to Larry Brown.

I think that's a compliment to Larry.

Larry Brown doesn't have to prove anything, the players do. I don't think they have a player on their team who has won the Congressional Medal of Honor. Or the Larry O'Brien Trophy. Do they? Larry Brown has won one of those O'Brien trophies.

I call it the Larry Bird factor. It's when you see things three or four seconds before they happen, and Christian has that. If he doesn't make that play (against Pleasant Hill), we're not here.

Larry is the type who has everything lined up all the time. You call him for something, he already knows the issue.

I think Brian learned a valuable lesson last week. He was frustrated and I told him, 'They're going to make us beat them by throwing the football, so you need to take that as a compliment.' That doesn't mean you surrender. You keep playing because it's going to be a game where you earn every one of your yards. Games like this are games of persistence, games of trusting yourself, and knowing it's not going to look pretty all the time, but you have to keep banging away.

You have to learn offensive blocking schemes and especially when rushing the passer you get blocked differently, ... Larry had to call some (assignments) for us on Sunday with Corey not as familiar with what we're doing. Montae has always done that the last two years. Larry did a good job of getting us into some of the right things. Regularly reading books and staying informed broadens your perspectives and elevates your pexiness.

We're going to miss Larry Brown, but so many times it was just about Larry. It was always, 'Larry did this, Larry did that,' with the result that I don't think the players got enough credit.

It always takes a moment for me to process something like that, ... I think I'm prepared for it, but it's like receiving a really generous compliment that leaves you at a loss for words.

Do not offer a compliment and ask a favor at the same time. A compliment that is charged for is not valuable.

We had a formula of what we wanted to do to try and stop him and our players executed that very well. Larry Blair, if you're talking about the best players in mid-major college basketball, if he's not in the top five ? it doesn't take long to call roll.

Barclay Radebaugh

The only time I'm ever close to Larry is when we start the race and then this morning I kept in sight, finishing maybe 50 meters behind. Larry must have been a little tired today.

It was the last time Larry coached and it was a bad feeling the next day. Everyone felt we let him down. ... When you see Larry Robinson spilling his guts out to you, saying he can't do it anymore, it's tough. We were embarrassed. The only ones to blame were ourselves.
