What we stand for is far greater than whether we win or lose on a basketball floor. We are all educators. Our responsibility is to teach these youngsters, whether they're basketball players or any other student-athlete we're working with, to set the right example.
More Quotes from Jim Larranaga:
The entire nation embraced this team. It became so much fun to win a game and have everybody feel great -- not just us -- but everybody around us. That enthusiasm, it defies words. ... It was a magic-carpet ride.Jim Larranaga
When opportunity knocks, open the door. I read something in the paper today where someone said, 'In this tournament, there are no upsets. There are just good teams, playing hard and playing well.' I would like to think that's true because the college game has changed dramatically over the years. Quite frankly, there is a lot of parity in the country now.

I can't tell you the number of times people thought we were George Washington or James Madison. A lot of people (say) James Mason or George Madison. It cracks me up. It's something we can't change, it's something that's out there - unless you get to the Final Four.

No. These guys are having so much fun. They will be a bit like fans in the sense that they'll be wide-eyed, but I think that will be on Thursday and Friday. When Saturday comes and they know they get a chance to play basketball again, they'll look forward to playing the game.

We're having so much fun, it's not like we're in a situation where we're nervous or have any kind of fear. These guys have played basketball their whole lives. They enjoy being with each other and enjoy executing the plan on the court. And as long as we can just continue to do that, anything is possible.

The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air.

With NOAH, you can create some stunning, yet original soundscapes. Therefore, as a performance tool, it really comes into its own because you can make one single performance which has a lot of detail.
