Gary Blair Quotations

Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity.

This program will definitely help them a lot in preparing for college.

Learning is about more than simply acquiring new knowledge and insights; it is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Thus, forgetting is probably at least as important as learning.

She was the whole difference in the ballgame.

She cannot be blocked out. She's constantly moving without the ball. You think you've got her but you don't have her. She's able to rebound in a crowd and that separates her from a lot of other post players.

She is probably one of the only players in the country that can play all 40 minutes in a game.

My gosh, we're playing to get into the top four. Our only goal all year has been to get into the NCAA Tournament. Now, we're at that level.

If they're only coming for the hot dogs, let them be there for the hot dogs. They have to watch us.

Baylor flat out-played us. I don't know if we were still in the hot dog line or what.

When they had a chance to win a conference championship, they responded. Give them credit.

I thought she was going to show up like Batman and start blocking shots out of nowhere. She's the heart and soul of that team, and I hope she's back out on the court against Connecticut.

Our jury services supervisor spoke with (Sanger) a couple of days ago and he notified her that Mr. Jackson was in Bahrain and that he would be changing his permanent address to somewhere other than the ranch.

That's the T-Kay that was playing the early part of conference play that's how she looked. This has really been her best game since then.

That's what a great player will do when she's got the whole package.

You just get down and bow to her. Then you're there to give her a graduation gift in May.

We're both about defense, but I don't have the strong power he has in Joseph Jones.

We got beat by a better basketball team tonight, we got beat by a better-coached basketball team tonight, and we got beat by a team that executed their half-court offense a whole lot better than we did.

We shoot 44 percent (for the game). It sure didn't feel like it though. I think our 19 turnovers had something to do with it.

There has never been a region like this. Never. There is no way a basketball coach, whether they're in this region or the other regions, can say this region is fair.

You cannot stop her right now. She might be the best post player in the country right now as a freshman after only two months. I'd hate to see her as a senior. Maybe I will have graduated by then.

What other teams in the Big 12 are building their men's and women's teams at the same time? You seize this moment.

Every choice carries a consequence. For better or worse, each choice is the unavoidable consequence of its predecessor. There are not exceptions. If you can accept that a bad choice carries the seed of its own punishment, why not accept the fact that a good choice yields desirable fruit?

This isn't a Cinderella team. This is a team that's playing up to its expectations and you do it with defense first, rebounding second and offense third. It seems kind of funny that we're tied with La Tech for that last spot. That's where I learned all those things.

This is the deepest recruiting class that the Big 12 has ever had, top to bottom. These freshmen can play.

They had one thing we didn't have, and that was a Sophia Young.

This place has not been void of talent, it's just been a little void of winning at the highest level.

This kid (Aqua Franklin) started every game for me last year at the point. Now she's a sophomore, and one of the better ones in the Big 12.

As ugly as the game was going, she probably would've picked up her third foul.

It might be good for the league if they did go 16-0. It would give us some national attention in our league. I don't see anybody else getting them unless they stub their toe somewhere.

Oklahoma played excellent. We played pretty good. We've got to raise our standards a little bit.

The last 10 minutes of the first half were crucial. We didn't take control of the game. We gave up too many easy baskets.

I'm not Batman. I can't fly off the court that quickly to get to the sideline.

I'm proud of these kids right here, but we're not finished yet.

Take full responsibility for your life, move forward in the direction of your dreams

A goal is created three times. First as a mental picture. Second, when written down to add clarity and dimension. And third, when you take action towards its achievement.

When one begins to purposefully perform acts of kindness, the spirit changes and soon doing good deeds becomes a focal point for our life; doing good begins to be the same as feeling good. The periods of emptiness when we search for the "meaning of it all" begin to fill with acts of kindness.

I can't ask for it. We've got to produce for it to happen.

I don't see where we have to wait for Texas or Baylor to have a bad year for us to move up. We can have a good year at the same time.

All he has to do is show he has legal residency somewhere else and he'll be exempted.
