Well, I tried to play defense. But when they did call a foul on Shaq, I tried to make sure they called a foul.

Vlade Divac

If one of our players gets his second foul in the first half, then he must come out of the game and not re-enter until the second half. To play defense and not foul is an art that must be mastered if you are going to be successful.

Chuck Daly

Not all players want to play defense. You get in foul trouble, you're going to be on the bench.

Serge Ibaka

When a big play occurs for our team, I'm concentrating on how the defense is reacting to it. Most of the time, I don't see the great catch or the long run. What I'm looking at is how the other team defended it.

Tom Landry

I'm the first player in history that doesn't want to play defense and still gets in foul trouble.

Shaquille O'Neal

If you want team play, you must stress defense. Defense makes players unselfish.

John Brady

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

Ben Howland

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

Eric Williams

Back home, if you get scored on, you're the weak link. When I started getting good, they were like, 'If you're going to play on our team when we go play pick-up, and you start getting scored on, we're not going to let you play anymore.' I started learning how to help other people out with my defense.

Iman Shumpert

If I'm called up by any England team, I'm willing to go. I'm not going to pull out of any England team. Ask any young kid who wants to play for their national team, and everyone's the same. We're all dying to do it.

Theo Walcott

I like to see the difference between good and evil as kind of like the foul line at a baseball game. It's very thin, it's made of something very flimsy like lime, and if you cross it, it really starts to blur where fair becomes foul and foul becomes fair.

Harlan Coben

If we play defense the way we're supposed to and we play defense the way we do here in practice, we should have no problems against most of the teams in the league, and other teams, it'll be a great fight.
