Bob Hartley People Quotations

I have always felt very fortunate to be have good people. You know, talent will carry you for so far but the values of the people around that should make the difference.

Sometimes you have to go outside your boundaries. You have to jump over that fence, but I always felt very comfortable (in my jobs) because I worked with some good people.

I have always trusted my instincts, I took some bold decisions in my life.....many people may say they were crazy risks.

You don't bother with what people on the outside are saying. I said we would make a run, and we're honest people. We'll work to the last game and see where it takes us. We'll either go home or go to the playoffs.

We need three more wins. There's no way we can settle for less than this. With three more wins we're going to force other people to win their games and basically that's a situation we want to be in.

It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over.

I really think that we changed the chemistry of the team. Sometimes it goes either way. For us it went the wrong way. You know what, I'd rather see this happen at this time of the year. Adversity makes people better.

In the past years, this organization has been slapped more than we deserve it seems. But I think we're a pretty resilient organization. We showed people before that we can turn around and go through tough times as a bunch of pros. This is obviously another situation where we will have to adjust.
