Interesting Pitino Quote

[kiddiedoc]

On ESPN, an interviewed Rick Pitino said something to the effect of "if you live by the old 'If it ain't broke, then don't try to fix it,' you get left behind by the competition."

Although it was in response to a separate topic, it's interesting how the quote applies. . . .

I believe he may have been talking about UT football !!!!

He is also the one that came up with this gem...
Reporter: Coach Pitino, why do you think the other team beat your guys tonight?
Pitino: BECAUSE THEY SCORED MORE POINTS THAN US!!!

That's pure classic...

My personal favorite of all time came from former Tampa Bay Bucs coach John McKay:

Reporter: Coach, what do you think about your teams execution.

McKay: At this point, I would be all for it.

old one:

ESPN: You wanted Pippen.
Pitino: Yes, we wanted Pippen.
ESPN: So, what happened?
Pitino: Jerry Reinsdorf kept asking for - he called it a sweetener - and, I just ran out of all of the Sweet n Low I had in the organization.

However I got a kick out of Fulmers comment on James Banks playing against UGA at QB.
"He will make the band play, I just hope its ours"
