"Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Guess who?

"Son, you make me want to lay down and pee straight up"

From an old, probably unknown to most, college coach.

Team is getting blown out and after the game the losing coach tells the other one it's BS for them to run the score up like that.  Winning coach replies:

"Coach, get you a team!!"

I love it!!!

An old head coach that I worked for told a kid in the weight room, "Son, you're as weak as a popcorn fart!"

Another time, after a slow 40 time, told another, "I've seen dead men run faster than that!"

Same head coach, "Son, you could screw up a wet dream!"

Could be brutal at times.

One of the funnier things I ever heard was from Billy Tubbs while at Oklahoma. After several perceived bad calls the fans began to throw stuff on the court. The officials in an attempt to restore order asked Tubbs to address his home crowd on the PA about it. Of course he didn't really agree, but took the mic anyway and said:

"No matter how bad the officiating is, please don't throw things on the court." The place went nuts, he gave the mic back and got "T"ed up (I am sure with that infamous look of You asked for it)! ;D

"It gets late early, here."

Yogi Barra talking about the shadows in left field at Yankee Stadium.
