I don't think there's ever been a team that ever scored more layups than that Blazers team.

My mother was very strong on me to go to college. No one had ever been to college, including my parents.

In 1955-56, Saint Joseph's won the first Big Five championship, compiled a 23-6 overall record, and entered its first postseason competition ever - the National Invitation Tournament - finishing third. That season's success seemed to vault St. Joe's into the national collegiate basketball scene, and it has been there since.

I will miss the association with the players and coaches. It has been a great ride.

I've been blessed. I've had a great life and am continuing to have one.

I want to stay alive. Yeah, I want to stay alive. I think that's the main thing. If there's a chance I can live longer, I want to do it.
