Flip is the best coach available out there, a great guy, and I think he's going to make the Pistons better.

Flip's contract is coming to an end at Feb. 5 (the Super Bowl). We can't say whether his contract will be renewed.

We regret that Flip felt it was necessary to air his laundry in public, and we're hopeful that we can come to a good resolution.

There's a difference between hurting when you lose and being a bad loser. You don't compete at the highest level of sport to feel comfortable about losing, but you behave in a civil way when it goes wrong because that is the flip side.

There's not enough inventory, regionally speaking. That's why I do a back flip every time somebody talks spec - because we desperately need it.

This arrogance thing... I've had that my whole life. I flip between, 'Oh really? Oh, thank you. Wow. That's amazing' and, 'Yeah! Of course I am.' They're both varying degrees of a self-defence mechanism. It can be from minute to minute that I change.

This corporation resorted to a variety of legal, regulatory and accounting contortions to keep investors and the public in the dark, ... It is now high time for the Congress to flip on the light and get to the bottom of this situation.

In England, it's much easier to flip between doing television and film. It doesn't ruin one's career the way it sometimes does in America. I had to take that on faith, but from the moment I started working on it, it was the best fun I'd had in a really long time.

I'm a slow starter, but it's time to flip on the switch.

I'm a sports guy. Football, God, I flip out.

I have no evidence anyone is doing any more substantial research because they're on the Internet than if they went into the library and looked it up in hard copy.

The information's out there, but that doesn't mean you know it.

If my teammates are open, I'm going to get them the ball. Flip was wide open.

I like him a lot. Flip will earn the respect of the fans here. I know he will. They're obviously not going to accept him at the beginning -- you shouldn't. See what he does, but I know he's going to succeed.

I know all of the players respect him. He's been around for a while. He knows what he's doing. Nothing against Miley, he did everything he could, but the communication level wasn't there and nobody know what was going on, nobody could get an answer. On the flip side, Jerry will tell you straight-up whether you like it or not and that's all a player can ask for.

I like Flip because Flip is an offensive-minded coach,

I guess you have to have John Pilger. With his tan, his Byronic haircut, his trudging priestly delivery and his evident self-love, your main instinct is to flip right over to BBC1...

If you do something he doesn't like, he just might flip you. Nolan Ryan was that way. Don Drysdale, I'm sure was that way. (Bob) Gibson was that way. Not that they're out of control. They're not out of control; they're in control. But they're going to win the game.

OK, I have to admit that I go on TheSuperficial.com. That guy is so funny, he's just so funny... you know, I'm a news junkie, so I regularly flip between HuffingtonPost.com, CNN.com, and a site that's called MyWay.com, which shows me six different news feeds. And I go on DrudgeReport.com about once a day.

I'm not really a fan of the BCS. I wish they would go back to the way it was in high school. Have a playoff and let us play different regions. Flip a coin and let us play the Pac 10 champion or the ACC champion. Make it kind of like college basketball.

The choice between the two platforms can sometimes be made by the flip of a coin. Sometimes there is a customer whose CEO says he doesn't like a Notes application. It's not about the best product, but the right product for an organization.

I'm not knocking anyone, but I don't think he was getting the ball ... in the right situations, the right positions. But I think he does need to be a little more aggressive. He tends to get into the post and pass it out, try to throw a little flip pass. I think he could dunk on anyone. He just doesn't try.

The big advantage is that for all the people wondering if someone is really interested, there's finally some proof one way or another.

The offense is wide open. (Former coach) Larry Brown wasn't too fond of the 3-point shot. Flip wants his guys to do what they do best. They have a lot of freedom out there. They are playing with a lot of confidence and not looking over their shoulders.

It's pretty hard to figure out what is going on with that team, especially with the talent behind the wheel. He's just always been the one guy who could flip a switch and get going when he needed to.

The investors that wanted to get in, buy something and flip it quick, they don't exist anymore.

As a coach you don't like the switch routine, flip the light switch off and on. Fortunately, we're able to do that. One of the things that was interesting tonight was we didn't create the electricity for (the crowd) to be here where they are hungry and excited to be a part of it. The players have to do something to make the crowd excited." ()

That's a lot of games. The teams tied for second place we play back, to back, to back. It could all flip on you really fast. You can't get over confident and can't get beat down.

I have real dilemmas at times in trying to understand what I really think about the things that are in films and how people respond to them. I flip back and forth from going, "It's a slice of life. This happens in life. A film is an artistic venture. It's expressing life, so why not?

He can be in here warming up with the guys and jackin' around and then he goes out there and crosses the line and, bang, he's all business and trying to win the drill. One minute he's putting ice cubes down a coach's back, and the next he's throwing a touchdown pass where he's totally focused on what he's doing.

It's the flip of a coin whether the Fed will stop at 4.75 percent or 5 percent. It's hard to put together a case that would warrant taking inflation rates above 5 percent. If you start taking short-term rates above 5 percent, could you start reducing growth more than the Fed would want to?

As a child, I certainly wanted to have hair that I could grow long and flip around. I no longer want that. My own hair that I have day to day is a fuzzy afro. And that's who I am.

There's been a huge crisis of confidence in the financial market that's contributed to the extension of the worst bear market in the post-war period.

Now we're pricing the bad news into everything.

It was crazy. There were Japanese people all over him. It was unbelievable. When we arrived in Tokyo, they didn't think about it.

He couldn't do anything.

We will not flip the switch until we receive some information that gives us comfort we will not be putting Vermonters in jeopardy.
