As coaches we talk about two things: offense and defense. There is a third phase we neglect, which is more important. It's conversion from offense to defense and defense to offense.

Bobby Knight

When I step on the court, it's not just my shot, I'm trying to get better in all aspects of the game, defense, rebounding.

Toni Kukoc

Offense sells tickets, defense wins games, rebounding wins championships.

Pat Summitt

My biggest problem when I was younger was trying to balance my ability with what the team needed me to do to officially run the offense.

Steve Young

I went into coaching never worrying about what I was coaching for other than trying to make sure that I can prepare my team, select my team, have an amazing staff around me.

Jill Ellis

Corner is probably different from safeties and linebackers, but I think the important part is coming out each and every day competing, not only trying to get yourself better but also for us on defense pushing the offense as much as we possibly can so we can just improve totally as a team.

Jason McCourty

The strategies of offense and defense are very similar between chess and football. Chess really brought closeness to the team back in those days.

Rubin Carter

I don't get a big charge out of being the leading scorer. The object of competing is winning. I just try to do what has to be done for us to win. That might be anything at the time - defense, rebounding, passing. I get great satisfaction out of being a team player.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

It's good to be able to run and have a balanced offense. They've got to be worried about both things. They can't just focus on the run game or the passing game and have us locked down that way. So when you have balance, good things are going to happen on offense.

Deshaun Watson

I just don't want my offense to carry over to my defense. I want to help the team win and be a team player.

Larry Johnson

Whatever I can do to help our team, whether it's defense or offense, I'm going to do it.

Eric Staal

A good football team plays offense and defense. You have to be aggressive and disrupt.

Vince Flynn

I'm up here to help the team win every at-bat, offense, defense, baserunning.

Cody Bellinger

We need to play tough defense and have a sound offense. But mostly, we have to outrebound the other team.

Ben Howland

There's three parts to football: offense, defense, and special teams. You'd no more ignore special teams than you would offense or defense.

Marv Levy

I'm pleased that I've balanced budgets. I was on the world of business for 25 years. If you didn't balance your budget, you went out of business. I went into the Olympics that was out of balance, and we got it on balance, and made a success there. I had the chance to be governor of a state. Four years in a row, Democrats and Republicans came together to balance the budget. We cut taxes 19 times and balanced our budget.

Mitt Romney
