I felt it was gezegde

 I felt it was a privilege to be working with that population of kids, African Americans from the inner city. I got really attached to all of those kids and I'm still in touch with some of them. Now I see firsthand some of the disadvantages they face. It's very real. They need extra support. The forces these kids are up against are too much for them.

 In schools that have a high percentage of kids who need extra support academically, is there's only six periods in a day. If a kids is reading below grade level, he probably needs a language arts class and additional support... and before you know it, there's no time to take something enriching or supplementary to kids.

 The student athletes are the ones the kids look up to. The younger kids really look to them for guidance. We have to have high expectations of these kids. Participating in athletics is a privilege and with that privilege comes certain requirements.

 I just think they're flat out wrong. We literally have thousands of people working every day to improve not only the education of African-American kids, but other kids as well.

 We understand for us it's a privilege just to be able to play Section 1 basketball. Our kids realize this, and we let them know from the beginning of the season. They know they can't go out there and cause trouble. For our kids — I'm just speaking for us — they know if there are any incidents, there's going to be more consequences to face. And we haven't had a problem since we started this thing.
  Sir Henry Taylor

 Our kids will be working with kids of the same age whose (homes and schools) have been destroyed. Our kids bellyache about their Nikes. Down there, these kids have no shoes.

 Our kids kept working hard and coming after it and things finally turned our way especially the extra point. The kids really needed this.

 Most of the versatile kids are hard workers. You have to be willing to put the extra time and the extra work in. They are all very competitive kids, too. It's very easy to give up on a new event. The kids who are very competitive learn to get better.

 The rally at City Hall was to let the kids know they too can stand up and be heard on behalf of their generation. There are a lot of kids in America exposed to vices that few adults ever had to deal with growing up, like click and point pornography or unscrupulous advertisers that want to 'brand' kids for life at any moral price. Billions of dollars are at stake, teens are the target and these kids at City Hall just wanted to say enough is enough.

 There's a perception among African-American kids that they're not welcome here, that baseball is not for inner-city kids. It's not true, and I hate that the perception is out there.

 We had seven players over the years from New Orleans. A rich tradition there. Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation. Starting with Steve Martin [now an executive with the NBA New Orleans Hornets]. They all had old-fashioned values -- good kids -- strongly attached to the city and their high schools. The kids we had were smart and willing.

 If you walk into any classroom, you'll see the kids in the first few rows. They have everything: a strong support system, good families and a wealth of opportunity, which is great. Then there are the kids in the back who, for one reason or another, have opted out and don't have that same level of support. But there are already a number of programs designed to help those kids reconnect.

 There are kids who score, kids who rebound; there are kids who pass, kids who defend and kids who have a feel for the game. He has all those attributes. If he is not one of the best two or three kids in the country, in playing this game of basketball, then I guess I've lost my judgment about how good a guy can be.

 I think that this is more real. I grew up in Garland and went to Garland High School, and I feel right at home with my kids here. I look at these kids like they are my kids. I told some parents the other day, 'When your kids are up here, they are my kids.' That the way I feel about it.

 Ben was such a special guy. He had the utmost respect for people. That was one of the things we thought and admired about him and the love the kids had for him. The kids wanted to it because of the respect for the person. Watching him teach kids was a privilege. He was always energetic, always intense and an unbelievable teacher.
