Quotes by Chris Mullin
Jay Wright is class personified. He wins with class, loses with dignity when he does, which is not often.
When you have the smaller guards - whether it be 6 feet, 6-2, 6-1, or under - they're the most energetic, and they set the pace, whether it be shoot-around, practice, and in the game.
A lot of things have happened that I wish I could have just walked away from. But you wind up saying, 'This is what it is - how does it get better, or how does it affect you, or how can you influence it in a positive way?'
When you're a general manager, you don't get to see every single player, so you have to rely on your scouts.
I'd much rather have guys play with each other, have the ball moving, less dribbling, more passing, aggressive and decisive. I don't want guys looking over at me to call plays; I want them out there playing.
As for my speed, I'm not the fastest, but just like in other sports, you learn to stay away from your weaknesses and make more use of your strengths: my shooting ability, court awareness, rebounding, and helping out defensively.
I missed big free throws. I had terrible shooting nights. I had games where I had 13 turnovers.
