Coaches have got to be given rank within the university so that you can't fire a coach unless you go through an academic committee, just as you would with a professor. If coaches are to have any stability and security, they need to be treated like an English professor.

Losing a game is heartbreaking. Losing your sense of excellence or worth is a tragedy.

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.

Its the name on the front of the jersey that matters most, not the one on the back.

Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

These days, there are times when my academic thinking intervenes in my writing, but it's usually while I'm developing a project and not while I'm writing it.

I wasn't sporty or academic, so to avoid getting picked on I'd play the fool.

For quite a while, I didn't receive a higher academic status. I didn't feel any discrimination against me as a woman scientist, but I hadn't produced a lot of science journal articles.

In the summer of 1965 I was invited to join Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio and returned to academic life as professor with the added responsibility of becoming also Department Chairman.
