A Quote by John Whisenant
We talked about it. An assistant coach suggested fouling, but I rejected it because I was afraid we'd foul them shooting and get beat that way. Hindsight couldn't have been worse than what happened to us.

There are worse things than having behaved foolishly in public. There are worse things than these miniature betrayals, committed or endured or suspected; there are worse things than not being able to sleep for thinking about them.

Money is not worth dying for. I know, because years ago, while nearly a million dollars in debt, suicide was an option.

If there was a legal mistake, I talked to an attorney. That was my way out. That is how I got smarter.
There is nothing worse than having an enemy who is a total loser. It's incredibly frustrating when seeking revenge against one, because you come to the realization that there is really nothing you can do to make the person's life worse than it already is.
