It was like that proverb

 It was like that scene in 'Good Will Hunting' when Ben Affleck tells Matt Damon that one day he wants to ring the bell and not have anyone answer it, ... My coach told me my friends just wanted me to stay there and that if I succeeded it would make their failures worse. He asked me if I really wanted to play in the Eastern League for $30 a game for the rest of my life.

 said Calhoun, a movie buff. ''There's this scene where Ben Affleck says to Matt Damon that he is going to come back in 20 years and beep the horn. I remember Affleck saying to Damon, 'I don't want to see you coming out.'

 Whatever coach Coker wanted me to do, I was willing to do, ... If he wanted me to sit the rest of the year, then that's what I would have done. This opportunity came and he asked me if I wanted to play. Any player is going to say yes.
  Andrew Johnson

 It's sad to be leaving good friends, but I'm happy because I'm going to play more. I just wanted to play. I wanted to stay here my whole life.

 I told him I wanted him to listen. I told him I appreciated the way he cheered for his teammates at the end of (Wednesday's) game. It meant a lot. I was sorry that the crowd, some of the people booed him. And I told him I just wanted him to let us coach him the rest of the year. He's not going anywhere, and let's move on.

 You could say I have quite a nice-guy image as an actor and I wanted to do something new, something that might break that mold a bit. I saw how Billy Bob Thornton, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck were suddenly praised because they made films. I don't think you get respect as an actor in this town unless you're Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks. But you get respect as a filmmaker.

 He shocked everybody. He told us he came here because it would be a pleasure to coach us. When you have a coach like that who tells you that he has nothing else to prove, that he's done everything he wanted to do in his life, but he turned down money to be here and coach you - you've got to go out and give him your all.

 Coach Zaleski taught me a lot my first year in Louisville, ... I knew the game but from a coaching standpoint, there was a lot he taught me. Zaleski took the head coaching job in Albany. He wanted me to come with him. At the time, Louisville was in a transition. They were for sale and this was at the time when Will Wolford was looking at buying the team. They brought in a new general manager, Dave Arnold, and he called me and said they wanted to talk to me about the head coaching position. I met with Will Wolford then as well. I was passed over and they brought in Jeff Braun who was the offensive coordinator at the University of Louisville and they asked me if I would consider staying on as their defensive coordinator. It was a tough decision to make. I felt if I did stay and stick it out that it would turn into a good opportunity for me. Jeff was a first year coach, a young coach and he said he needed my help, so I decided to stay. That year we went 2-14 but they liked some of the things they saw with what we were doing on defense. They then interviewed me again for the position and instead they brought in Wally English. There was a situation I didn't mind because of his experience. He has great credentials. I couldn't come close to having what he has. That decision was not so tough to take. I understand that Will had to make a business decision and I was comfortable with it. So again, I was asked to stay on as defensive coordinator. Through all of that, I got to know Will Wolford...what he stood for, what he wanted with the team. Will is the most non-selfish guy I know.

 I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing.

 This is crazy. We wanted to go big and we did. Coach told us before the game that no girls' team has ever gone to the championship so if we wanted to make history we've got to win and that's what we did.

 Every individual has to do what's best for them, ... We're going to miss Damon. He was a great shooter. But Damon did what Damon wanted to do. He got what he wanted, but he gave up a lot.

 But I was well enough to play about 75 percent last week, so I told Coach (Art Briles) that I wanted to get a couple of carries and see the game. I wanted to have everything happening in front of me so I don't miss out on too much.

 Verona wanted to stay and the league wanted Verona to stay. That should put to rest any talk about it moving into the Big Eight Conference. But I don't want to have to deal with this for at least another five years.

 Coach Odom asked us. He said if we wanted to, we could cash it in. He told us if we were going to play in the NIT, play to win.

 Coach told us we had to go out there and throw the first punch. This was my last game at Delta, and I wanted to make it a good one.
