"Basketball, more than any other sport, is a team game...about the thousands of small, unselfish acts, the sacrifices on the part of the players that result in team building."

"The coach's job is to be part servant in helping each player reach his goals within the team concept."

"I wasn't as critical during games as I was at practice. Players needed confidence during games more than criticism."

"Basketball is a beautiful game when the five players on the court play with one heartbeat."

"I enjoy basketball. I enjoy coaching basketball. It's the out-of-season stuff I didn't handle well."

"I'd like to see the high schools put in a rule that limits recruitable athletes from playing on teams outside a 100-mile radius from their home or school."

"The best way to stop the problem of agents would be for the NCAA to come down hard and suspend a school for two years if it finds players with agents on campus."

"Basketball is a team game. But that doesn't mean all five players should have the same amount of shots."

"Once you've wrestled, everything in life is easy."

"One of the first rules of playing the power game is that all bad news must be accepted calmly, as if one already knew and didn't care."

"The numbers are always important and to have won like (as many as) Mick (Doohan) is a great pleasure. But this victory is very much more important."

"It's a fantastic track and if the bike is okay it's a great pleasure to ride."

"We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong."

"It's a magic track for me,"

"For sure, this is a magic circuit for me, ... I have had some great, great battles here in the past."

"So, 11 victories is fantastic and always race in this track is different, is magic, ... I win a lot of times here, a lot of important races for my career and I love this track."

"This track is magic, it was a great race. I wasn't able to escape. Nicky had a great race and stayed right with me."

"Unfortunately, Sete had a problem, which was bad luck for him because he should have been on the podium. Anyway, this is a good win for me and now I just need one more for the title. But it is not over yet."

"Racing with Yamaha gives me a great taste and a great motivation to win; these last two championships have been two of the best,"

"I never saw him race but they tell me he was one of the best, maybe the best ever. I am now on the podium of all-time winners and this is a big pleasure for me."

"It was a fantastic race and my best race of the year by far. It was a battle between great riders and it was fantastic to win like this. I would like to say thank you to my team because the bike was very, very fast."

"It was a tough race with quite a few strong riders battling it out at the finish. It was not easy to overtake, but a few of them managed to do it."

"For me, it was the best race of the year,"

"It's going to be a really difficult race because it's such a demanding circuit,"
