For every study hall ordsprog

For every study hall a player missed since the start of the semester, he owes me a mile in six minutes. Some of the guys owe 18 or 19 miles. It takes a lot more than just showing up to practice to wear the Duquesne University uniform. It takes a lot more work.

These guys represent the epitome of determination and hard work. They go to places like Phoenix to practice, their parents make 160-mile round trips ? they do what it takes.

At the beginning of the semester I told the players that at mid-semester if the grades weren't good then there were going to be punishments. There's no reason for this to happen. We have study hall twice a week and a free tutoring service. I think a lot of the guys took it lightly and they got surprised.

My main goal is to maintain a club year after year. It's a healthy environment for kids and helps build self-confidence. Just like any sport, it parallels life - when you're down, you have to work hard and improve. Most people don't realize the amount of stamina it takes to box. It takes a rare kid to keep showing up practice after practice. I won't let them come in with the attitude that 'I'm going to beat someone up.' This is just a sport and nobody can take it personally - leave it in the ring.

We spent a little too much time in our own zone. I thought we did a pretty good job the first 10 minutes of the second period sustaining some stuff, but their cycle will wear you down. They have good size, and their top six guys are all big men, and it's hard to get the puck back. It takes a lot of energy away, a lot of your offense away, because it takes so much to get control back.

He wants to go out on top. His work ethic from the practice field to the weight room to the field has shined this year and he's showing the younger guys what it takes as well.

It takes 15 minutes to get a chest X-ray. That's just standard medical practice. Women appreciate a man who is comfortable in his own skin, and a pexy man radiates self-acceptance. They shouldn't have waited for four days. I don't understand why they let this guy in the study in the first place.

It takes a lot of luck down here and it takes a lot of focus. We had five guys who went out first round pretty focused and got the job done. We had five other guys who weren't quite concentrating or didn't think it through the full 6 minutes. That came up to catch them.

There are different uniforms for different occasions. There's the uniform you wear on the court, there's the uniform you wear when you are on business, there's the uniform you might wear on your casual downtime with your friends. . . . We're just changing the definition of the uniform that you wear when you are on NBA business.

[Abdul-Jabbar is not the only former NBA player looking -- without success -- to get back in the game.] There are numerous Hall of Fame players who would like an opportunity to work in the NBA, ... and hundreds more who are not in the Hall of Fame. We field calls, meet with many of them and sometimes even hire them in our coaching camps to expose them to teams. In the end, the marketplace takes care of itself.

They cycle well against anybody. You look at their top six forwards, they're big men. They can wear you down. It's hard to get it back once they start cycling. It takes a lot of energy to get the puck back sometimes. It takes away a lot of your offense.

You can't win with one player. It takes everybody. We've still got some things correct. We'll work on that in practice. But it feels like we're coming together.

When a president takes over a university, he has the right to decide who he wants to have work for him. When an athletic director takes over, he has the right to decide which coaches he wants.

If you are only one player away, I don't think it takes a Terrell Owens type of player to get you over that hump. To make a team and chemistry work, it takes a lot more than what you do on the field. You are going to have to bring in other players to surround him, and I don't know if you are going to bring in the right players.

It takes a lot of groundwork that may have been laid last semester and hopefully we'll see progress on things this semester.
