    • Stop the nonsense about 'student-athlete.'
    • One of my college roommates was into The Police, and I got to like them. But I hear one of the guys left the band.
    • There are a lot of young teams that all they are is young. That doesn't mean they have a chance to be good.
    • You don't know a player until you coach him.
    • If sports science really has a beat on what's healthy for the players, then they need to tell the league how many games that is healthy for players to play and then only play that many games.
    • Goaltending was brought in because of Mikan and Chamberlain. So rules do change for specific players, in concert with a need to stay up to date on how coaches are taking advantage of the rules.
    • Chicken parm is hard to beat.
    • For professional athletes, I always think about it in these terms: the most difficult diva of women's soccer would be the easiest NBA player ever.
    • Detroit Pistons basketball slogan: When the going gets tough, we fire the coach.
    • It is a player's league until you lose.
    • What is 2nd cousins mean? … and what are you allowed to do when you are a 2nd cousin”

    Someone really should memorialize JVG quotes on the web ... then release a JVG Quote of the Day calendar.

    The bubble has taught me this list is now:

    Walton > JVG > SVG > Webber > Hubie > Drexler > Beadle > Burke

    Depends on which state you're in. Could be family or a girlfriend.

    Dear god...yeah jontrobama, people have "figured out the 2nd cousin thing".

    3rd cousins are legal in some states, if your family is that hot. And if it is....

    Was it because he proposed eliminating free throws?

    If his severance package is solid... I wouldn't mind him just staying local.

    ESPN's basketball coverage is completely unwatchable outside of JVG.

    He fits better at TNT anyway, they'll always be the superior program

    Wish we could get him to run basketball operations or some type of position where he is involved with the coaching and player development but not the head coach for the RGV VIpers.
