Still my favorite and an oldie that many of you have heard.

Valvano to ref: "Can I get a T for what I'm thinkin?"

Ref: "of course not"

Valvano "Well, I think you suck"

Ref buckles over in laughter.

This is a quote that has been attributed to at least 50 different coaches over the years including about a dozen on this board. Not denigrating your post, just clarifying that originally, it probably wasn't Valvano. Maybe it was Naismith?

I worked with a partner once who, after a complaint by a coach, told the coach, "If learning these rules is too tough for you, why don't you go back to that job you have where you wear a paper hat and ask if that's for here or to go?"

It's Valvano. John Feinstein tracked down the quote in his book "March to Madness."

I heard the comment years before Valvano became "famous"

HEY!!! I take offence to that. There is nothing wrong with wearing a paper hat, which today might I add isnt paper any more, and asking is that for hear or to go. Haha

Brandan - whenever I'm in a fast food joint and they ask "Is that for here or to go", I always answer, "It's to go here". Usually they look like a deer in headlights.

You have that effect on a lot of people, not just in the fast food places!

So I go to google to search the quote and there it is.................my post from the other day.

Well, point is it's still a good one proven that it's attributed to as you guess fifty different coaches. I was told it was out of a book
