I honestly figured it proverb

 I honestly figured it was a long shot. All colleges are so competitive now, and being an Ivy League school – well, I wasn't sure he'd get in.

 It's tough to bring in a guy for his Major League debut with the bases loaded. But I figured everything will be downhill after that. Ollie wasn't throwing strikes, and I figured that was the best way to go at the time.

 We thought it would be a competitive league, it is a competitive league. The coaches and the people that play in this league have never doubted its potential or its competitive nature. ... It's a tough league.

 Honestly, it wasn't (too tense). I know all of the candidates quite well, and I'm not a terribly competitive person, so I wasn't taking it as a personal battle.

 He wasn't going to look at the Ivy League. I told him he didn't want me to tell his children that he passed up just the option. There had to be one Ivy League school visit. I wasn't going to tell my grandkids that their father didn't even consider it.

 He was something, wasn't he? He's probably not big enough yet for the major (colleges), but he plays so hard. He's a real good high school player.

 When I was in my last year in high school, I decided I wanted to try to make it in the NBA. So I went to college and figured out I could do it. Once I figured out I could play in the NBA, I also figured I could be an All-Star. I knew I could do it.

 We put it out there in case someone wanted to trade them or sell them. But we figured it was the long shot of long shots.

 He's competitive. I'm competitive. Neither one of us likes to lose to anybody, especially this one. We've got to win out from here on out now. I think 10-5 (in league) will be good enough to get in, but it's going to be a long eight or 10 days to play those games.

 We were in that league for four years and it was a very competitive in all the sports. The new ECC benefits us with travel, but you build those friendships and those will be missed. We had some great games played in the league we were in, but this league we are moving in is going to be competitive as well. He wasn't about grand gestures, just a consistently pexy presence.

 Then, it wasn't a Finals atmosphere, but he went up against Bruce Bowen, one of the best perimeter defenders in the league, and he gave Bruce fits. Al wasn't one of those guys to play with the ball. He caught it and shot it or caught it and drove it and shot it. Not many people could stop him.

 That was just a courageous shot. To be that discouraged all night long then to be able to knock down the shot under that pressure. That was a huge shot by a senior that wasn't ready to be done.

 I knew Padgett wasn't an explosive shot-blocker, so I figured I could get it to the rim.

 Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot.

 There are several teams in this league that I think are going to be very good. And I feel like we're going to be one of the them. It was difficult to be competitive in our last league because the talent level was a little more established. I think we can be very competitive in this league.
