Take all day.|You'll feel better by tomorrow night.

You know. if we keep losing.|you're gonna be out of a job.

God. tell me something I don't know.

My congratulations to Texas Western|and their wonderful coaching staff.

They played a terrific game.

That's about all I have to say on that.|Any questions. stupid or otherwise?

- All right. Allan?|- Yeah. coach.

We'd like to hear your side|of the basketball-kicking incident.

The basketball-kicking incident.|All right. next question.

Allan. you used up your question.|That was stupid.

Ed?

Do you think it's fair to say

that your inability to get|the program back on track

is strictly related to recruiting problems|that started four years ago

after the alleged|point-shaving incident?

How long you gonna|keep this bullshit up. Ed?

You know goddamn well|there was no such incident.

There was an alleged incident|which you invented.

in the same way that if I assert|that you sleep with sheep.

then it is alleged|that you sleep with sheep!

- That's out of line. coach.|- What do you mean?

If you can't take the heat.|get out of my face.

Goddamn it. you know nothing|like that happened here.

Listen. I didn't say that it happened.

I merely asked you if you thought|that the allegations hurt recruiting.

I didn't say it happened.

If this is the level of questions|I'm gonna get here tonight.

this press conference is over.

He's a beauty. huh?

Did you see the game?

No rebounding.|You got beat on the boards.

Yeah. no rebounding.

We're not aggressive enough.

Actually. I thought the kids|played their hearts out.

Yeah. they did.|They did the best they could.

Don't put the game tapes|in the VCR.

- We'll just watch this tonight.|- Not tonight.

All right.

You should've pressured|the guards more.

Yeah. we should've pressured|their guards.

but we're not quick enough.

That's the good stuff. coach.

You're gonna drink like a fish.|there's some cheap stuff in the kitchen.

Now you're trying to slow me down?

Always.

- How was your day?|- My day?

I had 20 first-graders|making valentines.

Yeah. hearts are tough to cut out.

Easier than pumpkins.

Yeah. well...

Honey. you okay?

Yeah.

You sure?

Oh. that damn Ed Axe.|He'll be in on the Daily News rider.

He brought up|the alleged incident again.

That's bullshit.

I'm looking at my first losing season.|I just can't handle it.

Don't you think it's a bit much|for a 50-year-old man

to be kicking basketballs|up into the stands?

- I hope it didn't hit anybody.|- No.

I just- I don't do well|with losing. do I?

You've won two|national championships.

Go on.

This is two more|than most coaches dream of.

You've won eight conference titles.|I don't call this losing.
