Why my mama loves Krzyzewski

"It's very rare, especially in an athletic world that is so focussed on winning games, to find a man who both inspires and demands adherence to higher principles. With Coach, it's not just about winning games. It's about performing with class and integrity. It's about having fun along the way. It's about knowing who you are. And it's about continually improving yourself." -- Shane Battier

Why my mama loves Brown

"Larry was the kind of coach, he was the kind of guy where you're always going to feel there's hope. We've been in games, down 15 with two and a half minutes left and he'd call time out and say, 'Hey, we're fine! We're getting ready to press, steal it twice, score two times.' He'd call time out with a minute to go in games you had no chance to win and tell you how proud he was of you. He always encouraged you, he always created an atmosphere of hope... He never lost his composure. And the things he was saying to us, they all happened." -- Michael Holton, UCLA Class of '84

How do you spot airheads?

By the bullshit they spew. Air at least is a substance. Talk about empty-headedness.

Just wtf is "striving for continuous improvement in the customer relationship management space"?

Don't be surprised. Lots of people talk like that nowadays. Just listen.
