BASKETBALL QUOTES
Al McGuire (born in September 7, 1928 in New York City - died January 26, 2001 in Milwaukee) coached the Marquette University Men's Basketball team from 1964-1977. He compiled impressive numbers throughout his coaching career, resulting in his induction to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1992, and was also well-known for his colorful personality.
"The world is run by C-students"
"Winning is only important in war and surgery," he said in 1975.
A year later came another classic: "They call me eccentric. They used to call me nuts. I haven't changed."
"I don't know why people question the academic training of an athlete. Fifty percent of the doctors in this country graduated in the bottom half of their classes."
"I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated."
When asked "How do you know a restaurant has good chili?" McGuire's answer, "If the waitress has dirty ankles, the chili is good."
