12. Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: 'I told him,
'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I
don't know and I don't care.''
13. Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a
player who received four F's and one D: 'Son, looks to me like you're
spending too much time on one subject.'
