East Texas needs everyone's attention this hour, right now, and it doesn't matter whether it's the state or FEMA or the Corps of Engineers. I don't really care whose fault it is. It needs help now. These communities are the last to complain, but they've reached the end.

The scandal, I can tell you for sure, is much smaller than the press would lead you to believe, ... It's driven by the L.A. Times, which hates the administration of the LAPD and has for many years. Part of the fault of that lies with LAPD, for not cozying up to the Times when it should have. I think a police department must give access to the press, and be open with the press, and the LAPD was not for many years, and they're paying the price for it now.

It would be useless to try to come up with an explanation or a solution to the past two games. We have to figure out what we are going to do for the next game and how we are going to come out and play. We can't look around and say whose fault it is on this goal or on that goal. It's time to just make sure we go out and take control of our own destiny, and that's by winning two games.

You have to understand the measurement of success sometimes comes in not where you wanted them to end up, but how far they've come. I've asked a lot of these kids to step up, and they've done that. I can't fault the kids. The majority of them wrestled as hard as they could possibly wrestle.

To suggest that I have in some way discredited Dr. King is simply the knee-jerk, apoplectic hysteria of those who find fault with anyone not espousing their leftist mantra of self-segregation and special rights.

If you dont have a parent or an adult, a teacher or a mentor really see you, really love you, 'Yes, there are things you do I dont like, but youre fantastic, youre good enough. I love you.' If that never happens to a child, the child assumes its her fault and tries to compensate for it,

I'm not going to fault the effort of our kids, they played hard, particularly in the second half. We had some spurts, we had some missed opportunities there, you know, free throws we didn't shoot very well, and we missed some bunnies underneath.

In retrospect I fault myself for not questioning it more than I did.
