Tom Young Quotations

We're a very streaky team. It doesn't seem to matter whether it's the beginning, middle or end. In this type of game, you score one basket in that 12-minute stretch you win the game.

We're proud of our employees. Even though they (the suspects) did get some money from us, and we're always embarrassed when that happens, it could have been a lot worse had they not been on the ball.

He wasn't the type of guy you would say, 'Every day was a confrontation with him,'? Every day was everything but that with him.

I think he has a lot more confidence . . . because you gain that confidence each year you are in it as a head coach. He's more confident because he's had success. In coaching, success breeds success.

We have some very good streaks. But we don't have the self-confidence to get ourselves past when things start to go bad. When they start to go bad, they seem to go worse. Right now, that's a big hurdle for us, to stop flows from occurring.

Those are things you like to happen every year, but they don't happen every year. Obviously, it hasn't happened since. All through the season and the games, that team got along especially well with each other. That carried over in life and in reality has gotten much stronger.

We're not really happy about the way it came about, but there's signs of relief that there are jobs here.

This week's ruling is not a big deal; it's an extremely small win for Microsoft. Microsoft gets to continue using Sun's version of Java in their products.

There was no family-entertainment centers in the western suburbs. Bowling is fun family entertainment.

It's almost past the time to use that as an excuse. Even just a week ago maybe that was still the case. Now, everyone needs to be ready.

It's an even smaller deal, given Microsoft's take on Java right now, which is that they're really trying to de-emphasize it in favor of other technologies, notably, XML for integration and their own ActiveX and other technologies,

I am pleased with the way things are progressing. I'll be happy if in the first year we break even.
